It's chrome!!

[Not so mini bike]

I was bugging a friend (member) about some engine parts. He sent me a cl link to a couple of gx160s I went today to pick them up and started talking to the guy. He had a mini bike sitting on a lift with a predator on it. I asked if he had any others laying around. He said he had a chrome frame but it was in rough shape. After he pulled all the pieces out we were able to agree on a fair price. It is a whole mini bike with a set of rims and a scrub brake. He have long the slightest clue to what it is or if it is one bike or 2.

The million dollar question is what is the sprocket from. The bolt pattern doesn't fit this wheel.

That is the remains of a JC penney id tag so it was once an "el Tigre" :thumbsup: Never noticed that bolt pattern before on a sprocket, cant help ya there though, sorry:shrug:

Rupp guard and seat, Mini mate style handlebars, jackhammer grips. 6" Lil Indian 3 piece steelies :laugh:.....Bunch of cheap and easy to find parts :wink:
