In '65 I got a small minibike, identical in virtually all respects to the old Glenco bikes I have seen on line. Back when I got it, I was told it was about a 1957 model, but that seems a little early. I still have it, though it needs, and will get, a full restoration. It has a 2 1/2 HP Clinton engine, the Glenco foot brake/throttle (though it had been converted to a lawn mower style butterfly throttle up on the handlebar when I got it), and "Y" style handle bars. There appears to have been an extra cross bar added to the handlebars and a reinforcement on the frame added at some time.
The bike was originally the same red color as the Glenco's probably,but I think it had been repainted, possibly, because the fork faceplate (other Glencos didn't have the flat plate on the front of the fork) was all red, but you can still make out the original decal through the paint that says " Gator Gadabout". It is possible that it was originally white or cream.
Any ideas what I have?
Thanks mini-geniuses... er... I mean "mini" geniuses!
