2 Ugly whats?

[gumpit]

Blue one seems to have had the tabs cut off with the scrub brake and welded badly onto the black one. The black one also has had poorly welded footpegs attached..

I guess I will need to take some pics from other angles tomorrow. Any ideas?

the first one looks like a manco :shrug:

Looks simular to a rupp and a bird.

I also think the top one is Ruppish in design, look were the original pegs went, and the top bars past neck, plus arch of back rails look continental. But there are some ?'s on the rest. Just pull the seat to see if there is a tag.

The blue one is a Bird.... The first I guess you could go with Manco (rupp knockoff) :shrug: I've never actually SEEN a Manco in that build, but they did copy a lot of ideas.. Maybe like a Rupp-Zebra cross breed.. :shrug: What kind of wheels are on it?

 

[gumpit]

seat pan and wheel pics. I didnt see a tag.

gump send me that frame if you don't want it, I believe it is a 1966 Continental like mine. looking again the forks may even be correct, look like maybe somebody just teaked the bars

If it is a Rupp then I must be finding the roughest ones around...lol

 

[dobber]

I have no dought that it is a Rupp, I get the real rough ones too. All 3 of mine are. My frame is bent in the front, but I still had to trade my 3 wheeler for it. I guess I just really wanted it.
