Picked up a Taco T100 today

[Scottessey]

Hey Fellas, I picked up a T100 this morning. Needs a little repair but shouldn't be too crazy. Serial indicates '69. :thumbsup:

Scott, your bikes are museum pieces. Neat bike that I am sure will be stunning after it gets restored by the folks over at "Things by Scottessey". As always, I am looking forward to another master build.

Nice find! My Taco T100 is one of my favorite bikes to ride! Yours looks solid.

 

[Scottessey]

Thanks Y'all! I'm excited to start collecting the missing pieces. I try not to start new projects until I finish one, so seeing this one on the shelf will make me work faster on my current ones. I'm already excited to start it. :laugh:

Yes he did but it's in the right hands. I called a few times and I figured it was sold . Nice Score Scott!

Thanks for posting that. I'd jump all over it, but I have a good frame, wheels, seat, rear shocks. All I'm really missing now is the correct rear brake assembly. I hope someone from here scores that mini, it's too cool to let slip by.

If you want to make your bike rideable while you search for the rear brake assembly OldMiniBikes warehouse sells a 60 tooth sprocket with brake hub and the 5" brake shoes that will bolt right on your rear wheel. I have one on my T100 and it stops the bike just as poorly as the the original did:laugh:
I do have the original but the teeth are really worn on the sprocket.
