Hmm, what size wheel would these fenders fit?

At first I thought this poster was an idiot to put this in the "bikes for sale" category, but now I think they're actually brilliant. Notwithstanding whether or not it's a good idea to drill more holes in that fork, where else are they going to find some bike dork with a drill and a tap set willing to meet them somewhere and mod their bike for twenty bucks or whatever?!

Full house!
This had it all! 80cc engine! Backwards drop bars! NDS photos only!
I've never seen a bike this modern treated this way.
Take it behind the shed and put it out of its misery...

Bar ends on this sad little bike look like arms throwing themselves up in frustration. "What do you want from me?"

Looks homemade to me, especially some of those chewing gum welds joining the back and front ends. I think that it has two different serial numbers on the two BBs pretty much nails that theory.

Wow, I've heard of dogs getting "stuck together" during The Act, but never two bikes.

The tandem looks upridable for the stoker. Not enough room for the person's belly.

Best foot forward
I applaud the seller for being upfront about this kind of damage, but the asking is as if this damage doesn't exist!
