I was hungry till i had a BURRITO!

[Dan-E-boy]

hey guys, just wanted to share a recent craigslist find... at first i thought it was an all welded taco 22 because the single pic on the ad was blurry.. so i call the guy and ask if he can send me closer pics to my phone of specific areas to try and determine if it was a real taco or a reproduction..(just recently picked up a reproduction one,and even though its a great looking frame, i was trying to avoid doing that again). when i got the new pics, it was clear that it was in great condition as far as rewelds and dents go. and i also noticed that it was a bolt together frame. so we made a deal and went to pick it up.. with help from MAC and a little research on the net, im confident that its a burrito. sanded down the paint from the areas that there would be a serial # and there was no sign of them. i was told that meant its a burrito. let me know what you guys think. is there any other way to check? like measurements or sizes? here are some pics, thanks for checking it out and any info on these minibikes.

I think I'm hungry! NICE. Dam even the kickstand is there!

 

[Dan-E-boy]

Thanks guys, yeah, the kickstand with the pinch on it I hear is really hard to find.. ohh yeah, I forgot to mention that the only thing I found wrong was that the previous owner drilled some holes on the handle bars, for a killswitch I believe. You can see it on the last top view pic where next to where the left hand grip would go. But that's an easy fix.

Luck and a little dedication, I like to check out Craigslist and OldMiniBikes on my lunch break and this guy posted the burrito up about 20 before my lunch :thumbsup:

Started to take this Burrito apart and found a serial#.. at first I was told that the serial# would be found by the left foot peg or on the top frame piece by the neck area.. didn't find any #s on either of those two spots so I figured it was one without #s like other members have said they had.. well now that I took a closer look to see if I find any issues, I find some #s stamped close to the left rear axle mount.. I took paint off with paint stripper and gave it a quick scuff to find... 5p029 :thumbsup: does anyone else with a burrito have #s in that location??

That's where the numbers are on my 1966 22.

Mine too! :thumbsup:

 

[Dan-E-boy]

So its more common then I thought... Im used to seeing the #s closer to the foot peg, but I've only owned a few others(67,68).. thanks for the response guys..:thumbsup:

 

[1stlegendtx]

Mine too! :thumbsup:

That's why I wanted to see a picture of yours.:shrug:
