"drill Arrow Lite rims with hand sewn tires. Extra set of blue anodized rims with hand sewn tires"

Hand sewn tires? Wow! Someones Mom had a LOT of time on her hands!

Never saw a frame like that.

Interesting design, I must say.

Do anyone know what year was it made? I assume it is an 87 or 86 from the details of the auction.

sew ups , unlike sew up tires of today, they used to actually sew the tube in. maybe JU himself can get on here.

My girlfriend's son would fit that perfectly, nice bike to start teaching him how to race on!!!

That's crazy different!!!

I bought an NOS F/F liek that from Jeff off eBay a few years ago. It had never been powder coated. I think I resold it to Kit Nickel. This was after GJS closed up. Some time past and jeff started makign frames again. I want to say it was around 1990.

WOW! I want to buy it!

I built those first at GJS at night because my Dad wouldn't do mini's or juniors (yes, there are jr's also) and then in my garage when GJS closed. I quit in 87 or 88 when I was welding at Mcdonnell Douglas.

Note the GJS dropouts / brake bridge on the frame and fork.

I still have 2 mini's bare and 2 forks bare.

oh yea, they were built on the Kuwahara mini jigs because GJS owned them.

Wow! Cool story Jeff.......great information.....i've never seen one of those....it's very trick!.....i'll take one mini and one fork for my nephew Jeff....i guess shipping will be about 3 lbs total?...I think I got a few postage stamps around here somewhere.......
