If you could make any vintage mini frame, what would it be?

[JimN]

Square Tube Luv.

 

[Brooklyn Bob]

El Burro.

 

[DaddyJohn]

El Burro.

That means “The Burro” in Spanish.

 

[Harquebus]

The vintage minibike frame I’d most like to see re-popped is the 1st gen DB30…

You got a pic of that? I don’t even know what that is.

Okay fellas, very funny. Who is right?

I was talking about the mass-produced Chinese minibike that I always keep an eye out for to pop up cheap. Classic design, and all the parts are cheap and easy to get. All the modern and classic engines fit in it.

And I was providing a link to an example of the 'El Burro' vintage mini bike.

Cool. I know Baja Doodlebug but knew the name applies to some vintage ones too. I agree, the Baja DB is like a classic frame. Every modern manufacturer should offer a bare frame to go along with their ’turnkey’ minibikes.......

I like the vintage El Burro too. Gotta have those vintage Honda US90/ARGO 6x6 balloon tires to go with it though. Those are so cool but difficult to manufacture I hear. It’s like super soft rubber bonded to what amounts to a 3” rim.

I’ll sell you this one for 500 bucks. Unmolested frame with an ultra low hour powersports H40 with a Comet TAV. But ya have to come to east TN to get it

That looks like an HS40. Much more fun.

its for all the world an HS 40, but the later made powersports 4hp were labeled H40 on the tag.

Just do a simple frame like the Steen's Frijole with maybe a wider frame, and possibly taller to fit newer engines.

My choice as well. Simple is always better.

Wasn't someone making copies of those a while back?

"Vintage" and "DB30" don't belong in the same sentence.
