    What is this mini bike?

    I bought this rolling frame for the wheels, and I was told it was a Bird by the seller? But I think it might be a Fox? Clearly the foot pegs on the frame don't belong... not sure of the shocks... and I don't think that the wheels did. I would love to keep the whole thing, but I'm only keeping...

    Will a Coleman Attex Sport gas tank fit on a Rupp Roadster??

    Like the title says...will a Coleman Attex Sport gas tank work on a Rupp Roadster? Even if I have to cut the seat pan a little bit, that would be okay with me. I saw one for sale on the web...but the guy is too lazy to give me any measurements. I don't understand people, guess he really...

    My 12" wheels still have tires on them so i can't exactly tell how wide the rims are? They look to be around 2-1/2" wide. I also wondered if people are running any other sizes than the 3.00-12 tires on a Rupp Roadster 2? There are some scooter tires out there in metric sizes, is anyone...
