This is my most recent acquisition. An ARCO EZ Rider. A friend of mine had this and was ready to let it go. It's basically an unrestored unmolested survivor. I'm sure there is that maybe a couple pieces that may have been replaced but for the most part all the main original items are there and in somewhat decent shape. He sent it to me this way...
after removing the crate...
These pictures were what he sent to me before sending it...
I have no current plans to restore this bike as I really like the originality of it. I basically put it back together and have been ripping up and down my alley from time to time just to keep my mind clear of trying to rush through my LiL Indian project.
Well, my brother and I ride 30 miles to work together so we have a lot of time to talk about stuff. Since I've gotten into building a mini bike he has taken an interest as well and we decided to buy this ARCO project from Truckasaurus44. My brother doesn't come onto the forums so I'm going to post the start and the finish because it should be a really cool bike when we're finished with it. Not only that but even though it seems ARCO bikes aren't that rare, I can't seem to find a lot of reference on them so a little from us might not hurt. This shouldn't get confusing because I'm only showing mine potentially twice...once as received and later when I've dissassembled and cleaned it up a bit.
Here is my brothers as received from Truckasaurus...
