After all the Briggs and Tecumseh minibikes my friends and I had, I have to say, I’d ride that. Kinda cool.

Anyone driving from Maine to Michigan?  I’d be interested in the Schwinn.

I actually built two in 1967 and 1968.   "Popular Science" had an ad for a kit you could buy to convert a Schwinn into a motorized bike with a 3 HP Briggs.   Needed some cutting and welding but ended up making a nice little "mini-bike".

Anyone recall how much the asking price was on Craigslist? Ad is gone now, just curious.

That's a lot nicer than any of the crap I built as a kid.  Pretty nice.
