I just scored a sixties/seventies mini bike today from Craigslist for $60. It has an odd single downtime and the mounts for a jackshaft. I think it might be a Fox Sprite? Anyway, I got a frame and fork, complete twist throttle, set of wheels with new tires, a couple sprockets, drum brake and lever w/cable, two nice seats, two more tires, a 5hp Tecumseh H50 that needs a carb, and two aluminum Sensation wheels. I'll probably sell the wheels.
Looks like I need a carb, air filter, clutch and chain and a fresh paint job. Something metal flake.
I'm building this to give to my ten year old son for Christmas. I was his age when my dad built me a mini bike for Christmas. I just about crapped my pants when I saw it under the tree.
Glad to be aboard! I'll post some pics.
