Finally finished my Ruttman Spyder. Here it is you guys, painted in a plum crazy purple. The heart of this machine is beating with a tecumseh Hs50. The seat is all original grain and heat pleated material from the seventies thanks to "Mean Dean," all the chrome is coppered and then nickel plated show chrome. The wheels are original 6"x4" Astro's polished to shine like chrome. The sprocket is polished aluminum. The tires are Carlisle's 400-6 rear and 4.10/3.50/6 front. I had many nights of little sleep building this one. I hope you like it!

Wow. Now that's a nice lookin mini! I have a Spyder frame hanging frame hanging in the garage just waiting to be built. It's not going to be original but will look great when done.
Your foot pegs--- how far under neath the chrome pegs does the tubing run? Mine was a mess when I got it. One side had a bolt welded to the frame where the foot peg comes out. And the other side just has the tubing but not sure if it's supposed to be like that.

Wow, awesome job Andre ! Your welcome anytime. Looks like it came off the Showroom floor back in the day. Correct color tint and everything. The seat looks awesome. I think it would do good in a restored class.

Topnotch this is pure, unadulterated minibike porn that even the mere possession of the pictures would get you beheaded by ISIS let alone the actual bike. So :censure: them, I added seven pictures of your minibike to my private collection. Artisan quality work.:bowdown: Infidel:laugh::laugh::laugh:
