Help? I can’t figure out who makes this fat tire mini

[Feralphilosophy]

Picked it up today I have very little money invested in it, it’s not in the best shape missing parts etc. the DOT date for the tires are late 70s (I could be wrong) the craftsman engine serial number puts it in early 80s I’m stumped and need to make a decision if I’m going to build it or send it on its way fat tire bikes have never been my thing.
Also no serial numbers that I can find but the bike has a terrible paint job probably rattle can or paint brush lol.
Thanks again.

Hey @Feralphilosophy welcome to the Oldminibikes.com forum.

I think it's a fat tired Bird mini bike, but I don't know the model.

I'm not sure what that is.

Looks pretty cool with those fat tires, build it and run it, That's what I would do? nice to have something not everyone else has that looks cool too. BUILD IT....

I can’t find any parts for the thing I’m not holding onto it I’ll stick to my cats and tacos the big tire bikes have never been my thing. If parts were easy to find is build it for fun but the minimal parts I did find are out of my budget for a “fun” build.

If you were close I'd take it off your hands...

Ya I’m in Las Vegas NV the scene here is a bunch of cheap ass swap meet Edgar’s with their bs bikes and when one of them gets their hands on a vintage they destroy the mini bike scene is terrible here kids talking ish about higher prices for parts because they don’t understand what things are worth I had a kid talk ish for over an hour because he was shocked I was asking $1200 for a cat clutch cover lol.

Your secret is out! And obviously you intend to flip it. It's not wrong to list it on the forum in the appropriate place.

Wasn’t an intended flip and wasn’t posted here for sale either dumbass posted the listing not me I literally don’t give a F. I wanted info to see if it was worth restoring and it’s not and parts aren’t available my info wanted post here isn’t a for sale listing.

I agree but I didn’t make this post as a listing it was an informational post someone else posted the listing after I got the info. I responded to an unneeded reply I’ll take comments for face value and move past the shit comments from now on.

 

[sparkwizard]

You are correct. You never tried to deceive anybody here, and I don't think anybody suggested that you did.
Have fun and be safe.

Dumbass? Don’t think so.. Did I say anything to the effect that you were flipping? You said you were selling it.. slow your roll my friend…
