Golden Pinto

[Lud73]

Have an old Bird frame, shocks were taken off long ago and welded straight pipes were put on. I want to put shocks back on, I need a bracket to hold shocks to underside of seat. Any help on who would make these. Also what size shock should I use ? I see OldMiniBikes sells 12 inch on center shocks. Thanks

The OldMiniBikes shocks are great. The bracket for shocks can be made from flat bar stock, Lowes, Home depot, Manards...
A vice, big hammer, & drill some holes

Look through my pics if you can , as said above easy to make , I made all mine for Pinto and Duck !

Chipper would you have time to make me one ? I will pay whatever you need for it. Correct specs for Pinto

I would not mind but it'll be a while , a lot of projects going on , it's just 1-1/4 wide by 3/16" flat bar , bend , drill holes , round off corners and paint !

I can wait a while for you to make one, I'm not going to paint it for another month. I will put an ad in the "wanted" section for an original just in case one comes up. Where did you get your shocks ?

Here is a picture of the bike the day I bought it, you can see original yellow paint where fork meets frame. Shocks are gone, extra foot pegs were added. Ready to restore !
