The Official Tom Thumb and Micro Bike Thread

#43
BID on and won an original unused O&R gas tank last night on Evil Bay and won. Then I wondered if I was bidding against any of the members--Jerry? Still gathering parts!

Things are starting to take shape. Picked up a running pocket bike today for $50--will strip it on New Years Day(no life!). Lots of good parts--motor and drive for the Tom Thumb.Now have rounded up hubs and wheels, axle, hangers, tires and engine--soon as I get frame I am good to go!

Well it seems like all the cool kids are building micro mini bikes so I guess I will have to step up to the plate and take a swing lol
I didn't want to do the traditional TomThumb so I looked at all the different bikes and in the photo gallery and decided on the uniqueness of the Powell's.
It's not going to be as small as a T-thumb for the Powell's are a large bike to start with.
I started the frame and forks today and picked up the wheels.
I will prob start a build thread on it in the project logs when I take some pictures.

Just picked up a FLEE, not "vintage" but modeled somewhat after the Lil Petro. Unbelievably, its quite fast AND very easy to drive:thumbsup:


Guy I got it from took the tank off cause he didn't want to clean it out, luckily he still had it sitting in the shed :thumbsup:

Here it is next to a mini bike



I dunno if these guys are still around (mini bike world) they made the Johnny freestyle too, Heres a vid of the Flee:
