BUILD-IT-YOURSELF MINI-BIKES

Can’t all ord a new Harley-Davidson

Electra Glide or a BMW R69S? Don't

give up your dreams of owning a “motor-

cycle” yet! For only $2.00. you can get

plans with which to build your own from

an old, 26-inch, middleweight bicycle frame;

a 2-3 horsepower, lawnmower-type engine

and kart-type wheels. Both the Scoot'r-Bike

and Tigr-Bike can be constructed.

The plans, plus parts and parts kits too,

arc sold by Gilliom Manufacturing Com-

pany who sells such build-it-yourself items

(for power tools and karts in addition)

directly to 71 countries around the world—

from Nyasaland to Iceland. The firm says

that no machining is required with its parts;

hacksaw, hand drill, wrench and screw

driver are all the tools necessary.

Both mini-bikes feature automatic clutch,

twist-grip throttle, chain drive, drag-type

rear brake plus 3.50x5 and 4.10x5 tires.

scooter, but bigger than most other mini-

bikes. It can go 30 mph and get 100 miles

per gallon. With a two-stage, low-geared

drive limiting the rider to 18 mph. the bike

can be used as a golf cart, trailster or for

(he children to ride in the yard.

used, Gilliom sells the 3 hp (a) 4000 rpm.
