thanks

Can I get a new fork with a brake and larger non knobby tires for this bike?

 

[The Restore Kid]

I don't think there was ever a Bird model like that with front brakes but that doesn't mean you couldn't put a different front end on it or modify yours.. The larger front tire would make it handle better but front brakes are most likely not required.. Those little bikes don't really go fast enough or get driven hard enough to need front brakes..

I would upgrade to six inch rims and get some 4.50-5.30 tires. What do you mean by new fork.

Be sure to mark my answer as best answer.

What it looks like is a Sears Puncher :doah:

That pic. Sure looks like the bike to me.

If It was sold by Sears it would be a Puncher. If sold directly by Bird it would be a Falcon.
Larks had a straight post for the front seat mount, for mounting the bicycle looking banana seat, and solid suspension on the front.

 

[ak6903]

like maybe something off a small MX bike
I was thinking of getting rid of the rear brake.

I am looking for a complete Puncher or Bird Falcon. I have a Drover frame and forks and a NOS Outlaw frame kit to trade or sell. bianese@aol.com CW

With the scrub brake set-up you can't use that large of a rear tire ... You will have to stay with the 4.10-3.50-5 unless you refab the whole brake area

 

[mybiz]

Just to remind you it isn't a bird lark. Or a falcon.:doah: Rock it right you not use any bigger tire size without removing the scrub brake

What ever it is that mini is cool looking just the way it is :biggrin: ... And welcome to OldMiniBikes :thumbsup:
