I had to double take and even then it still took me a second to figure it out. View attachment 324434

Engine placement makes oil changes easy. As for checking the level ?

I hate to say it, but I see their 'vision' lol !

Minus some rust, plus some paint and motor, it could be a wild looking mini.

Yea,, Mini hill climber .

The problem with that is chain alignment the engine will stick over so far on the right it gets bad.

Local F-Book offer, claimed top speed 28MPH

That is scary and interesting at the same time. I guess the frame flex would act as suspension.
I think I would have used that little Honda engine from the frame in the background.

Anyone riding that rig to 28mph has my respect.....and sympathy.

The ad did not say how long after he went 28mph he decided to sell it

Reckon I'd check seat carefully for shit stain before purchase.

What a death trap !

Poor little Manco.

People assemble the biggest pieces of crap, then hope to get good money for it

Maybe the buyer's (if there are any) are of a similar mind set

I don't know ?

There's an ass for every seat.
Some bigger than others......

Take it from a former beer fabricator, nobody ever buys that crap.
That might be why that vintage frame with the CT70 engine is sitting in this garage with no wheels or suspension.

 

[cl350rr]

It appears that the whole original frame is present, just cut in two by the "artist". a bit of metal removal and rewelding and one could have a good but scarred frame to work with.

 

[sparkwizard]

I would like to find one of those little Manco bikes to test and tune some engines on.

 

[cl350rr]

Unfortunately, I am not a f-book member and cannot find the ad again. it might be worth contacting the dude and make an offer for the frame without the engine. a bit of cutting and welding and a decent test frame could result. I think it was for sale in Virginia Beach...
