I remember my older brothers friends dumping minibikes off at my house as soon as they could/drive build musclecars. A lot of them were Stellars, which were made here on Long Island, and command big $$ these days if you can find them.

absolutely. I was riding a Rupp Spring by 1971 (10 years old) and a new Yamaha LT3 100 in 1973.

Not stock, but original Harley 57 engine and trans. Not many can say that.

Nice putter. I've always liked rigid pans and shovels. Wide glide front end looks great on that frame.

hers what I am doing to mine. To keep me busy over the winter. Hydraulic disk braking, front suspension and open element air cleaner.

My son was cleaning out his wife's family airplane hangar and he found this. Any ideas on the make???? or year???. I think I've been tasked to get this running. I see no manufacturer markings.

The hydraulic brakes are a generic kit so a little fabbing has to be done as well as the front suspension. But generally, its a close fit. I'm trying to figure out what handlebars I need so that it will be a comfortable ride next

Steve, that's what is called a Pocket Bike, very popular (culty) dozen or years ago. They used to race those things formally. They can be VERY fast. Good luck with it

Love this thread, I have to go through the old family photo albums to get pictures of the greatest physical gift our parents gave us. One day out of the clear blue sky my parents arrived home to the farm with a brand spanking new CT70. (There were no funds for this but somehow they made it happen) my brother and I put thousands and thousands of miles on that bike!!!
