Bought a 1970 Rupp, & the guy i bought it from had this other frame & wheels. Having added a few extra bucks, i asked him to throw it in the deal.
The only way i can describe it is to say, it's an Earls front end. The frame has a swing arm just like the rupp, almost identical, but the back bone of the frame is two 9/16" tubes & is a short wheel base. The wheels are definatly10" spoke, dual brake rupp wheels. Sorry for the inconvenience, i'm having a hard time uploading pics.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!

Definately not a Fox Thunderbolt given his description. I believe Markus has it correct. Looks like an MTD.

Cool, I'm from near that area. was born in citrus springs/dunnellon My mother bought a house and moved back recently and my sister had a home built. both live right near Rainbow Springs so I am making runs up there all the time (I live in Venice/Englewood area).

Don't know much about those bikes, the front ends are neat looking:thumbsup: Probably be a nice riding bike.
