I saw this guy on ebay the other day and bid on it.. and I won!! I like my gotes and I was looking for a Balloon tire bike Its a little rusty but short of a side guard and 1 tank strap it appears to be all there.. I even has spark.. The tank has about a 1/4 inch of Varnish in the bottom so I imagine the carb looks the same.. A quick 8 1/2 hour car ride to pick it up (it always seems to work that way )as it was stored in a guys Barn, however not the barn it had been living in for decades.. As the gentleman that I bought from said it was found in an estate sale he had visited, and was included in a bunch of stuff he purchased .. I would like to come across something like that just once!! I am very happy with this purchase..

I guess I have my winter project!

I saw that and even messaged some questions to the fella on it.. Good to see a member here got it!
That was one of those ebay deals "I'll place a bid and if I can get it for this then its worth the drive".. I won it by 1.50 I figured somebody would outbid me.. so now that's my 3rd Tote gote but I was looking for a balloon tire bike. Who know's It might be next years build off bike (if they do it again)..
