Anyone know what this is?

Hi I'm new to this forum and looking for some help on what kind of mini this may be. I was told about this site from a longtime member of this site.

Thanks.

The top of the frame is like a Flexo but with a shorter backbone and the bottom is like a Caper but the rear wheel mounts are wrong for both.
Oh Ya welcome to the site

The Rear axle mounts had me looking at Taco's and Zebra's. I'll keep digging through the brochures.

This is my friends mini, I checked it out the other day. The neck has been re-welded and gusseted. The forks point almost straight down, I'm sure the wheelbase is shorter than stock. I really don't think it's homemade.
The only other notable feature are the axles. There is a large square nut on one end of each axle (welded? I can't remember). This "nut" mates to a tab on the frame (or fork) to prevent the axle from spinning when tightening the nut on the other end.
Please give it another look, help us identify it.

Thanks!

That's gotta make it steer like a shopping cart with a wobbly wheel. :laugh:
