FROM THE WESTERN SUBURBS OF ILLINOIS !
LOCAL PICKUP ONLY ! IF YOU LIVE NEAR CHICAGO , IT IS 14 MILES DUE WEST OF DOWNTOWN CHICAGO . MISSING CARBURETOR , THANKS TO AN FRIEND WHO TOLD ME IT DOESN\'T HAVE A CARB , I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN . THATS WHY I JUST LOWERED THE PRICE ............THIS MINIBIKE IS A ONE OWNER (ME NOT INCLUDED ) . I PURCHASED IT FROM A DAD WHO BOUGHT IT FOR HIS HOT ROD DAUGHTERS TO BURN UP THE WESTERN SUBURBS WITH . HE CLAIMS THAT IN ITS HEYDAY , THE MINIBIKE WOULD DO 35 MPH . I NEVER ATTEMPTED TO START IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IF A PERSON WERE TO RESTORE IT THEN HE SHOULD CLEAN THE CARB AND GAS TANK AND I AM NOT THE KIND OF SELLER WHO MESSES WITH AS FOUND ITEMS . IN MY YEARS OF SELLING , I LEARNED THAT MESSING WITH SOMETHING YOU DON\'T KNOW DOES MORE DAMAGE THAN GOOD SO MARK MY WORDS . I NEVER EVEN PULLED THE ROPE . THE CARB HAD A TIGHT PLASTIC BAG STUFFED IN THE CARB TO KEEP THE DIRT OUT . I THOUGHT THAT WAS GOOD . PLEASE LOOK AT THE ENTIRE PICS , BECAUSE WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU WILL GET . AN UNRESTORED AS IS AS FOUND FOR RESTORATION ORIGINAL SEARS MINIBIKE ! THE GUY TOLD ME HE WAS SURE IT WAS FROM 1958 BECAUSE HE SAID HE KNEW WHEN HE BOUGHT IT BUT I CAN NOT VERIFY THAT DATE IN ANY WAY . I SEE A WIRE IN BETWEEN THE HANDLE BARS NOT CONNECTED . ITS DIRTY , I\'M UNCERTAIN IF THE ENGINE STARTS AND WILL GUARANTEE IT WILL NEED SOME KIND OF WORK . IT WAS SITTING UNUSED FOR 30 YEARS SO COUNT ON IT NEEDING WORK . THE THROTTLE CABLE CAN NOT BE PRESSED BECAUSE IT IS OLD AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT . I SAW NO FRAME CRACKS BUT THIS OLD THING IS NOT TO 21ST CENTURY OSHA STANDARDS SO BEWARE OF THAT . THE LAST THING IS , THE GIRLS WHO OWNED THE BIKE TOLD ME THEY COVERED THE SEAT IN A COWHIDE PATTERN BECAUSE THAT WAS THE COOLEST THING FOR THEM TO MAKE IT STYLISH . I THOUGHT IT WAS A CUTE STORY SO I AM REPEATING .
