Runt Bike Project

[RideRedOrBeDe...]

This is one of those monkey bikes or "Runt" bikes. Bicycles that look like people at the circus would have. I bought this stock a few years ago when i was younger. Im 17 now and decided to upgrade it for my tastes of fun now. I found this 32 cc weed wacker engine from a weed wacker someone was throwing out in the garbage. It worked fine except the air filter didnt have a cover to keep the foam filter in. Some chicken wire will work. I stripped the bike down took out the rear shock, pedals, and brakes. Added front forks from a mountain bike also found in someones garbage (it looks pretty cool because it has a fender). And finally front pegs using bicycle pegs. Just need to mount the engine, find a goose neck to mount my bike handle bars, rig a twist throttle, Find a back tire, and maybe add a fake exhaust pipe or some extras like a sissy bar. Which I may get cheap as i am going to portland this week for the meet. Let me know what you think.

Well the camera is really bad. It was cheap and gets the crappy job done
