Cheers Paul. How would they go on a hard packed gravel beach? Maybe bigger wheels would help too. May as well just get a mountain goat by the sound of it.

They would sink and the best thing you could do would be to leave it at the low tide mark... Honestly they have pram wheels. Would you kids scooters work there?

They are for looking at and for people that like to play dads army.

Almost any chinese pit bike would be better.

Yep, can be. I was sort of hoping to make something myself, part of the challange. Plus it will be living on a west coast beach, so not willing to put much money into it. I have motor, wheels and heaps of other bits and peices, so basically just looking at a frame. Plus I will have to lug it around some pretty rugged headlands and shit, so gotta be light. Im getting old ya know.

They used to be all over the place, could be fun on the hilly stuff.

I thought the Mountain Goat was based on the original Rokon but maybe it is the other way round.

Mate had a peewee 50 that he used for transport out to his digger, chucked it on the counterweight.
What about mountain bike frame with 2T 50?
