Let's play: Name That Bike!

[Davidisabeersnob]

This was a Craigslist find, paid $100.

Front hydraulic disc brake
Rear drum brake
Frame is straight
Lots of welded on tabs for plastic accessories that were added

I'll just barely be able to squeeze the 212 in there, but I'll weld a new plate on to bolt it down.

This should be a fun project and I'll keep yall posted.

Nice find! Those George's are getting harder to find! I did not know they came in orange, I thought all George's were black.

Definitely vintage George. I had to wait until after Rob posted, so I didn't sound like an "ignorant POS." Cuz I'm no newb, I gots skilz.

I cant find anything about "George" minibikes. Is there a more specific name? Or does anyone have a link to information about the bike?

Meh, I take it all with a grain of salt... I agree, its a good frame and wheels, so ill upgrade the cheap parts and have an awesome little bike.

Oh boy was I wrong. That's not a George. Wrong wheels for a George. That one is Fred.
