Cool oddity from the 80's

[outskirtscustoms]

Just scored this off a guy here in town for $10. Sitting in a big pile of interesting stuff out back of his garage was this Lerun industries :? :?: :? skate/bike? :? unicycle? :? :idea: ODDITY :mrgreen:

Oh forgot the pics....

I have one very similar to that, we used to ride it all the time until one of the skateboard wheels came apart. I found wheels just need to replace them. They are a blast to ride!

 

[outskirtscustoms]

I've been thinking of swapping the wheels with some different skateboard wheels and throw on some wider trucks and try it out. Who knows I might Rat Rod it. I have a 12 1/2 x 3 tire that came off an electric scooter that will fit right on there.

we had one of those in the BEQ when I was in san diego, it was a blast to ride in the halls on the asbestos tile !!

I wish I had a pic . it was black with "the Orthodontist" down the main tube in red lettering.. :lol:

Funky fresh! :mrgreen: If for some strange reason you decided to cut it up, the looptail would be fun to incorporate into a cruiser frame...

I won't cut it up, too original and in great shape. Might swap on that 12 1/2 x 3 and see how it looks.

I think it's a trainer unicycle :wink: Neat find

That would be so cool with a 3 speed hub and a 3' shifter!

It reminds me of a cut-up Schwinn YO! scooter from the late 80s. :shock:

Now that you mention it it does. I swapped out the back tire for my 12 1/2 x 3 and it rides better but I'm still not too good at it. Kinda growing on me though.

I miss my Skate Bike! Awesome to ride but watch it on the hills, very speed-wobble prone!

I'd sell it if you're interested. shipping would be a killer though.
