Frankenbike enough for the kids?

Welded from different scrap metal and some old broken motocross parts collected from here and there with the cheapest possible mini welding machine.

The extended front fork is big enough for a 29" dirt tire but the rake has a horrible angle for actually riding it properly (at least for a 5yo it seemed quite heavy) so instead, it has the 12" at the moment whichisa bit tolerable. Still needs to be sanded down and cheapo painted.

Thinking about extending the rear fork too just for fun. What do you think, what could make it even better (or worse)?

Chopped up another rusty ol' kids bike and welded some exhaust pipe for the frame

It's pretty low though for not being a lowrider, probably will have to change the position of the pedals. Horrible welding, don't mind.

Found a frame from the junkyard and decided to experiment with some scrap metal, some spare parts and a motocross monoshock
