We Found a Buried Mini Bike and Slammed It

[@joshsimmons2663]

I'm trying to do house chores and y'all got me wanting to freaking break out my welder and one of my bike frames.

[@H3110NU]

Do it! And maybe film it for KZbin…

Hey don't feel bad since I started watching I bought a Yerf Dog and ordered some parts and been riding every weekend.😆

You have your priorities fucked up man.

[@99milesaway41]

Dude, they do that to me too. Which is actually a good thing I guess, I've got more projects than I know what to do with 😂😂

[@dankrafted]

it'd be really cool for you to make another frame copying this one, i love its lines and shape.... but with fresh metal you could use thicker wall tube on the back so it would hold the single side mount, and brace it with some fancy plasma cut parts... then sand it back and clean it up and just leave it in the pond for a few days to get the rusty swamp look. nice one guys

[@fourutubez7294]

This would be amazing and allow them to push their fabrication skills

[@sensisensei5201]

Would love to have one also lol. Needs some medium ape handlebars

[@joshtonry4291]

I want one! Jon, Ike, and Charles, this is one bad ass mini, and I want one

[@GearHeadWW23]

I agree, clone the frame

[@joshtonry4291]

And call it, Grandpa's special

[@tinygaragepowersports0122]

That's the jankiest, rustiest, sketchiest pile of gazorp I've ever seen, and I couldn't be more in love with it. Seriously! I REALLY love the single mount axle in the rear, and the Motovox sprocket cut out to show off that gorgeous Astro wheel was pure genius. I have always wanted those wheels to retrofit onto my DB30, but there's a brake disc on one side and the solid sprocket on the other. Gave me some great ideas!! This is another killer rat rod build.....well done, gentlemen....well done!

[@isomer13]

That'd be an easy frame to fabricate. You guys should build up another low rider - but with new tube, etc... Good episode. Thanks @y'all.

[@motosmitty1543]

My thoughts exactly, reverse engineer the frame.

[@jamesgnarkill3112]

Looks like that bike had a trailer hitch!! So cool

[@chicagovasko]

I love it when Charles and ike just click. Ud think they were friends before in another life. Great team.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Where'd Charles come from? IIRC he joined the channel later on at some point. I wish we had some background on him. (And all the guys really). Like what they did or do for real jobs or what trades they may have been trained in or schooling.

I was thinking something I haven't seen anyone do yet is re-create and old frame \ mini bike from scratch. This frame would be so cool to build new.

[@DaxtonAnderson]

I want to see a rear-steer mini-bike! It doesn't need to be this one, but you guys have the knowledge to make it happen!

[@donaldfuller5041]

Why?

[@AndrewLitwak85]

@@donaldfuller5041 why not tho???

[@Avetho]

@@donaldfuller5041 Because its interesting. Why make a 3 engine bike? Because its interesting. Snowmobile on wheels? Its interesting. 4 engine go-kart? Interesting. The real interesting bit of a rear-steer bike is how you'd likely have to lean forward to stay stable, like how leaning forward on a normal bike makes the steering more twitchy

[@DaxtonAnderson]

@@donaldfuller5041 same reason they made the 2wd bike or the awd+4 engine go-kart. Because they want a challenge!

[@jasonbirch1182]

Stability would be non existent over a couple mph. When you lean a bike into a turn the steering doesn't do what you think it does. After the intial lean balancing the bike with rear steering would throw you on the ground as it would turn the opposite direction.

[@larrybreuer4495]

Y’all definitely put “MINI”back into that little scooter! 👍👍❤️

[@javman03]

Coolest swap meet cruiser out there. I'm definitely gunna have to build a frame similar to this myself. Such cool lines.

[@johnreis1872]

Would love to see you guys use this frame as a template and make your very own cars and cameras frame with go Powersports! This frame is so unique and cool!

[@CultofRust]

This is the best bud I've ever seen on your channel. That frame is sick

[@anesthetized7053]

you can see the moment ike decided to slam it xD when he asked charles to back up after he put the seat on & everything just clicked.

[@guyhaydu364]

That one really looks like a rupp

[@paulcooper2897]

I have to say ... this is probably my favorite build since the original Rat Rod Wagon from 6 years ago! A few gussets on the rear tire support its ready for cruising flea markets and swap meets! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@fredericrike5974]

You guys need a tube bender type sponsor- that low rider frame you used (no, I have never seen anything like it- the front forks, with a spring above and below the frame head from the late '50s), well, it was bent and built using some pretty crude by our standards pipe benders. And bring that propeller era design into the jet age- raise the foot pegs to increase ground clearance in turns, run the bottom loop at an angle, rising to the rear to get a stronger axle and for wheelie clearance! You guys wrote the drill, time for the big tattoo! FR

[@dannymoore3703]

More rat bike/cart builds please, you guys are at your best when you wing it. That thing is awesome!

[@bradonoliver2973]

Best build yet!! I would love to have an old mini again 😢

Isaac is making me remember that one show called Orange County Choppers with his enthusiasm about that minibike.

[@JMKGarage]

Well that’s a cool find, and even cooler what you made it into.

[@srcobra50]

Man it turned out great that sprocket idea was awesome. I had my doubts at first wit how rough that ring was but it looks awesome.

[@cb175s]

Just recreate the frame and forks identical as possible Tubing bender time. Brand new old school 👍❤️👍

That thing is sweet. I have an old 5hp Briggs sittin around that I could use. This might be the inspiration that I needed

[@draggonhedd]

Awesome! More my speed for sure. Thats pretty much exactly how I built a single sided wheel mount too. I recommend adding a little triangulation on that upright though, or tie it into the frame above. This thing would be AWESOME for bombing around car shows and flea markets

Great video, love this kind of content. Taking an old frame and breathing some new life into it

[@kevinsellsit5584]

Heritage is a great thing to honor and respect. This very unique frame combined with Ike's cantilevered axle and rim mounted sprocket give the perfect mix of generations on this bike. It is so cool I would like to see you find someone who can bend heavy wall tubing in those tight bends and make a *new frame* with some tiny mods like moving the lower oval back an inch, shorten the axle riser 1 inch, raise the pegs forward and up, and build a new cantilevered fork/bars set with both springs below the headset. Honor and respect.

[@darellsimons2687]

[@richardhatt6541]

Lengthen the frame so you can lower the wheel brace and bring it forward to get more clearance for the rear and extend the forks.

[@krissfemmpaws1029]

That's a really cool minibike rebuild and would be cool to copy on a different frame. I'm a fair bit older than you guys, I remember Mechanics Illustrated doing a couple of mini bike shootout in the mid 60s and I think this was one of the bikes. The shootouts were you assemble kits and knock down you weld kits. Back in the day there were a number of companies that did knock down bike kits. The kits had all the tubes bent and fish-mouthed ready to be welded together. The one thing that was welded were the front forks on most of the kits. Ahh back when they had school shop classes!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Holy crap the tire is gone and the inner Tube ballooned lol 😆 😳

[@buckykattguitar]

Not enough back pressure with all those holes lol

[@JayC133]

Just an idea, you have a tube bender, a plasma cutter, you can weld and have Go Power Sports to provide parts... Why not remanufacture old bikes and cart frames you find? You can use the old frames as templates for the restomodded version?

[@scottm6130]

Absolutely loved this build! +1 for using that frame as template. I think the rim flange mounted sprocket idea is AWESOME idea, but could use an extra set of bolts to secure it. Maybe talk with Go Power Sports about designing one like this for production? i also think the single sided axle would look even cooler with a piece of 90deg pipe welded to the frame pointing up like a pyramid, with the axle coming out the side of the peak.

[@Ducaducs100]

Dang that thing is awesome it deserves an awesome paint job. Sparkle like the drag rail= true lowrider

[@garchompy_1561]

if you want to do a bagged one, just get an arts and crafts air compressor, the sort youd use for air brush painting or something. theyre tiny, and toy hou could probably run one on some sord of bicycle dynamo or maybe a moped charging system along with a small battery. or maybe one of those portable tyre inflator sort of air compressors. might need to move the engine back and forth or maybe lengthen a frame slightly if you want a decent size engine, air compressor, and battery, but surely it will all fit. if you have a charging system then you dont even need that big of a battery.

[@MayheM_72]

I wish I still had my big brother's old minibike frame. He had a Rupp Roadster II. It was a street legal minibike from the 60s based on their "Black Widow" offroad model. It had "big" spoked wheels, front/rear suspension, front/rear drum brakes, headlight/taillight, and a little Tecumseh motor (I think it was 3hp) with a genuine Comet Torq-a-verter. We could get a running start and get air off a hill riding double! Rupp minibikes is good shape are VERY pricey, but you get a basket case Black Widow, and fix it up with modern OHV motor, torque converter, brakes, suspension, etc, and that would be WILD fun!
