$50 Bucks???

I gotta be nuts to buy parts and pieces for another project. I swore I'd never do it again. But I just cant pass up "a good deal".

My homie Jeremiah picked this up for me. The deal was for $100. He kept a very desirable 21" Chinese tire on an alloy wheel with a drum brake, less guts, and a 16" Goodyear tire on an HD wheel.

The frame is (was) a Paughco Ground Pounder frame, or at least that's what the hillbilly who sold it to him said.

The center post, backbone and neck are gone. That said, I'm hoping to get it massaged into a stockish frame someday. We'll see...

  2. I paid $100 all told. I got the wheels, fork and neck too. Jerm kept the rubber. The mini drum is worth at least a c-note I'd think. As it turns out, the frame is for some sort of vertical twin. I have a line on a cheap XS motor from a good running bike. Hart is going to weld in a back bone and center post with a metric neck. I will throw my extra CB forks on it and roll it. Any chance you have some extra (cheap) XS controls laying around amigo?
