I like Cop's they would give me a free ride any time I want,,,,,,,,,,,, it usually only takes one or two shots. :thefinger:


Really though, are you sure it's that frame because theres alot of mini's that look alot alike to the untrained eye. ( even trained cops eyes :doah: )

Could have been a Taco or Rutman or,,,, it's never endless. Try looking at pic's here and at minidoodle.com. :thumbsup:

As already stated, many, many bikes have similar characteristics. In some cases, only the names have been changed, (to protect the innocent).
There are numerous avenues to building the bike of your memories, but without knowing just what it was, you'll never be sure.
It might be a lot easier to get a frame, or running example, of one you like and use it as your base point. You can also build your own frame or buy just the frame.
Check out some of the advertisers. There are those that sell frames and frame kits. If you're gonna build it, might as well build exactly what you want.
Don't let them dump on you about the job. They haven't thrown me out yet. Of course, I retired 15 years ago, so that may have something to do with it.
