Almost 30 years

[slick78]

Hey everybody I'm new to the group from south TX and I am starting to rebuild a mini for my son that's 12. However I have owned this mini for almost 30 years I bought it before I was 10 at a garage sale for 5 bucks and im now 35... I would like any insight as to what brand it might have been...

I kinda think the frame looks like a Lil Indian but I'm not sure about those forks. The frame seems to have the brake caliper mount.ut:

I'm with you Karen, the frame looks Lil Indian/Ruttman....and not sure about the forks Lil Indian cut ups ..maybe !?!?!

welove to the fun , btw , it's a mini bike for sure !

 

[slick78]

yes it is a lil indian just seems that at somepoint prior to me owning it the factory brake and mount was removed and my uncle attemped to put a scrub brake on it which is the mount you can see in the pic. I am going to have to figure out how to put a decent brake back on it. We are excited as we picked up a predator 212 Hemi for it on Friday!

Looks like a ruttman to me.

Looks like my bonanza frame. Or maybe mine is not a bonanza! Like others have said, front forks appear to have been changed! I need to get my photos loaded so I can find out what I have!!!!!

It looks like a Lil Indian spitfire to me?? Not sure though.
