NOS Stephens Mfg. Co. Minibike Ski $120

[relicracing]

NOS ski, but does have corrosion, dirt & shelf wear.
derekbmn‘s posted ad confirmed that the pair I found this weekend were for Minibikes. Thanks, Derek.
The red portion of the ski is laminated wood with a troth for the woven, buckled strap.
The yellow steel plate turns down on the ends to act as side skates.
I strapped it to a wheel (not included) for a picture. It’s nothing I would ride.
I’m hanging the one I’m keeping, on the wall and would recommend the same for this one.
I do not have the traction chain, mentioned in the original ad.
$120 shipped, PP ( the regular, non friends & family one)

While using that if the front tire came off the ground very far, talk about a face plant

Correct. I have two other designs in my collection, by different manufacturers, as well.
The Ruttman Ski-Trac, which replaces the front wheel, seems the most secure of the three.
A piece of rope is supplied to limit the drop of the ski tip, when its not on the ground.
