Should I drive 3 1/2 (round trip) to buy this?

[Skipp]

Wouldn’t drive around the block for a rupp…

but with that said a buddy brought me one last summer complete for $300…parted it out for 385 and kept motor and front end to hang on the wall….

Will you build it? That's the real question..

Yeah I’m looking for a project to kill some time and use one of these hs50s I’ve got.
I’ve also got the correct driver and cover laying around here someplace. So I really just need a tank and fender.
It’s not like I need another finished bike it’s more something too do and use up some parts.

I need to use the restroom or get off the fence.

regret the things you do and not the things you should have

It's a complete roller, and you already have the few parts it needs? Sounds like it's practically ready for relisting, or riding, or both.

Well dang you guys couldn't talk me out of it so I'm going to look at it tomorrow thanks alot

 

[sparkwizard]

Take your trailer with you.

 

[minibikefever]

I drive all over for things I want but that would need a couple more parts with it for me to take the drive, tell him 250 that will cover gas and then you can start looking for all those expensive parts lol, Good luck.

 

[Skipp]

I just don’t see what’s worth $500 there!?!

 

[f4radar]

300.00 later I have a new project. No bargain for sure.

 

[f4radar]

30 minutes later we’ve learned most it’s secrets.

Congrats.

It looks like it's in good hands !

 

[Minimichael]

Looks solid and real clean. Nice find.

 

[Itype2slo]

Wheels are clean that's a plus. I think one is 28 spoke and the other 24 spoke. Not sure if that means anything. Nice score!

 

[creia]

I think you did OK with your purchase- You did not get screwed...

Good eye. I didn’t notice that. Something is not original there

 

[f4radar]

Next time I say I need a project send somebody over here to shoot me.

The tank is going to be the hardest part to get a good deal on right now, they have gotten stupidly expensive recently. This is a surprizingly common bike so the tank shoulden't cost that much. I have seen more rupps than any other vintage mini bike. Good luck with the project I have had one complete and running and its a great bike, they ride real nice.

 

[f4radar]

I got a good start.

you move quicker than me...lol
