So I was at a show last weekend and ran into a fellow mini biker. He brought along a bike that he bought at a large old car swap meet in IOLA WI. As soon as I saw it I thought it was one of the coolest home made mini bikes I have seen. I asked him if he ever wanted to sell it let me know. He asked me what I have to trade? So last night I traded him one of my Trail Blazer rollers for this.
The front suspension has long pieces of threaded rod going up through the triple trees. The nuts are cushioned with rubber bushings.
The rear wheel is on a live axle with the bearings mounted in the frame. A little bonus is a Garbro rear wheel. I guess when he found it there was a 5 inch Go Power wheel on the front.
I'll be going through the bike, freeing up the front suspension. I'll put a more vintage wheel/tire on the front. Probably remove the scrub brake that was added some time after and install a correct drum brake. I'll put a vintage style seat on it as well as an engine that the builder probably had on it originally. I'm guessing it was built sometime in the early to mid 60's.
