I took what started as an aborted, scratch built go kart and re-arranged the tubing into the shape of a somewhat typical mini bike frame. Back when I started the go-kart, basically, it was an excuse to build something around those 5 spoke mag wheels and I wanted a "prop" for the back of my F-100. Fast forward 5 or more years and I notice that it was there, right in front of me, in my buddy's garage. A trip to the Lone Star Roundup last year planted the seed for all this mini bike crap! A few months roll by and I decide to re-think the kart and decide to make the mini! I cut that suckuh up into many pieces and had my friend weld it all back together. Tec edger flathead, the aforementioned Astro wheels, a drag slick, some custom bent apes with Honda Cruiser risers, a custom fuel tank made from a Target sourced coffee canister, custom fabb'd chain guard and triple tree plates from another friend who used to produce Shrunken Cycles which were mini choppers. Future plans call for paint and more polish. This sucker scoots really well due in part to the sprocket ratio I suppose.
