Description

I had one of these when I was a kid, ut wrecked it in 1969. When I ran across this one at a swap meet around the turn of the century I had to have it. I replaced the stock front wheel(which I still have) with a bigger one, ad the tank dipped and coated, eplaced the carb, ainted it and had the seat covered in faux ostrich. My kids fooled with it for awhile, hen it sat in the garage for the last 5 or 6 years. I put fresh gas in it today and it started right up. The one problem I remember it having is the chain jumped at the rear wheel. I don't know if it's a alignment problem or worn chain or sprockets. It's in really good shape for an almost 50 year old mini bike.
