western flyer

[marius.suiram]

hi,
I bought this bike for 10$ from a garaje sale. It is a Western Flyer, but I don't know nothing else about it (year, model, who made it).
Somebody told me it is early 60's, another told me it's 70's???
Does anybody tell me the truth?
It has some numbers on the bottom, where the pedals are : 35X10 703225.
Thanks

It's a Murray built frame, this style made it's debut in 1958. If it was a '58, it'd have a prefix of MOTX, and '59s had MOR, repeating the '52 prefix. My guess though is early 60s due to the chainguard on yours. I think it's dated to around '63 and later. Tough to accurately date these, as the codes are confusing! -Adam
