FILENAMES: mini_bike.jpg DESCRIPTION: This is a picture of home built bike (motorcycle) posted by John Stevenson . John supplied the following description: ==================================================================== This is a small bike that I built my son in about 1977. He's 23 now so the date is somewhere around there. Frame is a Triumph Herald prop shaft, small tubing is electriacl conduit. Engine is a new one 50cc of an Ariel 3 wheeler that died here in the UK. They were selling them off for 7 pounds at the time brand new. Wheels are off a wellbike AKA a Corgi. They used to air drop them in WWII. I also built two more bikes, these were sidecar racing outfits for 5 year olds but an adult could get on them. Had some good fun on these. plus I motorised an Austin all metal pedal car made in 1948. These are very rare nowdays and are collectors items, but we had more fun as the kids grew up with these things.
