The original early 70s mini bike

[Silver Penguin]

Now here's a bike that I can reach the floor - even when I was about 10yrs old. My Dad designed and built this bike for my brother and I to play with. He made three of them altogether. Two were exported from England, to Australia and New Zealand by members of our local speedway team

Very cool. Do you know what happened to them?

I don't know about the ones that went overseas, but the little red one is still in my Dad's garage. He brought it out one day, about twenty years ago, when we went to visit. I'm the same height as I was back then, so it's not much of a crunch for me to ride it, but DH who is six feet tall was tucked in tight.
