i just purchased 4 mini bikes for the bargin basement price of $150.
problem is, i don't know much about vintage mini bikes, and 3 of 4 bikes are completly disassembled.

I was hoping you guys could help me identify the models so i can figure out which parts go with which frame.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

theres 3 briggs engines (one gold, one blue, one black)
and heres the 4th of 4 bikes.


i figured the honda engine was worth the $150 and the rest of the bikes/engines where just a bonus.

thx again for all your help guys. i'm hoping once i get the identifications, i can search out pic's to help me fit these jigsaw puzzles back together.

i believe i have most of the parts to build 4 complete bikes.

I'll bet its a Taiwanese frame!!! And underneath the motor is the motor mounting plate a 1 piece or a 2 piece I'm betting two. Below is a better pic of the keystone in Australia these are called Grand Prix Deluxe Swinger , There is so many of these styles of bikes out there its hard to give them the correct name. And the came in all different types
Check this site out. Grand Prix Identification ... 6-1972 ................
Look at the foot pegs to see if they were originaly welded on there they could have been moved:shrug:

Thanks mybiz - I was about to post a "what is this".

Your picture is exactly what my son just acquired.
Now I know what the rear brake setup should be.

Next question - is this trash or treasure?
Feels nice and solid. Plan is to let my son buzz around the yard on it.

Nope your kinda wrong Grand Prix.:laugh: My 2nd go around of getting back into mini bikes the grand prix was my first mini I had in 38 years and yep I'm damm proud of that one, Give $25 for it and he was wanting $150 :deal: totally all original and in great shape. I didn't have a clue that that bike was going to give me a bad habit/addiction, .:eek:ut::eek:ut::eek:ut:
