Buddy picked up this project at the swap meet. Hoping to have it ready for a minibike fest a buddy is planning. Anyone have any idea what it is? Need to flip that rear wheel around. Are those struts/girders on the front original?

Definitely a sears sold unit, the 803 on you tag was the manufacturer code in the 60's when Bird was the builder of the bike, when the bikes were redesigned in the 1970's to larger tubing frames they changed the code to 131 which was Roper (Sears owned company)

yours is the 1968/69 version, problaby 1968 becuase of the headtube style....lack of reinforcement strap

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I got a mini bike frame from my grandfather and it's a 131807510 as well. All that's left is the frame, rims, and grips. It's also supposed to be the green color like in golden pinto's photos above. I was just wondering what the brake lever was operating on the left handle bar as well as where you got your parts from assuming you restored it.

Thanks!
