WTB: Minibike in the Cleveland, OH area!

#1
Hey Guys,

I haven't been on here in quite some time but I'm looking for a running bike to purchase for a few camping trips this year. I'm in the Cleveland area and will travel within reason. I'm looking for something vintage with a nice Tecumseh or Briggs. Not super picky but something that isn't a basket case. Shoot me a PM or text/call 440-292-5469

Thanks!

Yea, I've seen every single bike on CL within a 1.5 hour drive from me. Nothing that seems too appealing and a 'good deal'. I'm just being patient until something comes along that I can literally just take apart, clean, paint, and put back together for around $200-$400. I know they are out there. And I also know how you can pick up a bike for $200 but then you end up putting more than that into it! I'd rather find something that has already been gone through!

They're out there. You have to be fast -- and diligent. Try putting an ad on your local Craigslist of what you're looking for. I did it here and I get an email or text about a different bike every 2-3 days. They just crawl out of the woodwork.

Some are rough, but most are exactly as your described.
