Thanks brother. I appreciate you. I'm pretty sure my friend has since sold that bike.

Exactly! 🤣

To those that read my post in the discussion - some of this will be redundant. In March, I drove an hour and a half north to a farm in Manistee, Michigan where there was a "buy all or nothing" sale of bikes and parts of varying decay. I came home with a van-full, but the one I was after was a...

It's being miraculously saved by my buddy Dyno Dan. Unbelievable save.

I'm jumping in again this year. Back in March I drove up to a farm in Manistee, MI and bought a van full in a "buy it all or nothing sale". What really caught my eye was a prewar DX. Sadly, most of these were in pretty rough shape. A buddy is saving the 52 Western Flyer Super, another buddy...

Always a pleasure, a learning experience and an idea generator watching your builds, sir.

62 Fleetline, refurbished and polished. Tank is incorrect but I got it cheap and painted it up until that day I find the correct one. Painted rack to match.

I sure appreciate the detective work. Being a one year bike will make finding the tank that much harder. Now I'm wondering if a lower model tank will mount up? I found one on eBay - a little rough but would clean up half way decent.

Good work, detective❤️

That is cool. I found the 62 ad earlier today as well. I had read, I think on the CABE where they mentioned the bikes were chrome beneath the paint. Ever heard anything like that? I haven't seen the Murray Strato version in chrome. Perhaps someone removed the paint at some point? Just a thought 🤔

Thank you. I sent a PM to your source on The CABE.

Thanks much. That looks real close. Mine has a different rack on the front and no holes for a fender ornament. If it were a Western Flyer would it still have a Murray logo on the rear rack? I appreciate you chiming in. If anyone needs more photos I can do that too.

Picked up this Murray yesterday. I believe it's a 1962, and most likely a Strato Flite? Serial number MOU 70....200146. It's hard to tell as most of the identifying factors are missing. I'd like to find the tank and bezel for it ... don't care if it functions.

Finished up tonight 2/6/2024. I will do a more appropriate photo shoot in the spring.

Thanks! The bad news is I may have spent all my build-off money 🤣

Had a very productive day today. The sun was out and got a 40+ degree February in Michigan bike ride in and with my bike buddies, just about finished the Elgin. One more day of tinkering and this will be wrapped up.
