Wayne, Back in August of 1960 Science and Mechanics ran an article about making a minibike from scrap pipe and old bicycle parts. After looking at your picture I am certain that your minibike is one that was constructed from those plans. I was 13 at the time and I made one from old water pipe, a couple of old wheels, and a 2hp Briggs that we had lying around the farm. Thanks for the memories. Ogy
