being a proud Hokie alumni, I wanted something to show my pride this football season. This old Miurray was sitting around my shop so I thought “why not?”
Got Thompson grips for the bars and still waiting for Matt’s layback seat post but I think it’s going to be cool.
I believe the frame is most likely from the Murrey Fleet Line. The rat trap is probably off a spaceliner. The rear rack is definately a fleet Liner. The chain ring is a Westinghouse burner model. What a hodge podge. I just wanted it to build a shop themed bike and I love springers. Going...
Picked up this klunker today. Fleet Liner rear rack mounted backwards. Rat trap like a spaceliner but the rack is wrong. Neither were tank bikes and the tank looks like a aeroline or mercury.
its badged as a Murray. The chain guard says aero line.
I picked it up cheap and the wheels are painted swap outs. I took the tank off and the red paint it on the inside also. I believe red may be original..
the bullnose chain guard looks to be a western flyer but the tank look add and the fenders looks like the stays are not aligned properly.
Any ideas? Worth picking up?
