Sweet looking Western Flyer. I really like the shape of the down tube. I used a frame like that on my last project but the back half was bent up and I replaced it with the back end from a Murray girls bike. My only regret with the whole build is that by the time I was done moving the cranks forward I had lost the shape of the down tube. Oh well I still like it and maybe some day I will find one like this that isn't all bent up. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one. Here is a link to my build in case you missed it. viewtopic.php?f=21&t=9206
Well Speedy's been hard @ work on this project....I just haven't had a chance to upload updated pics. My bad guys. sorry, but here's some parts pics after he started working.
No, these parts aren't from the same bike, but I hear they might be used in build...
We haven't forgot about this bike...Got sidetracked going to Midwest Bike Fest, school starting, & life but here's what Speedy's working on now.... :shock:
Cleaning & Painting
Yes, that's the same sprocket...cleaned up well 8)
The Rebuild:
Well--this is about where he is now... still figuring out the fenders & seat mostly, so more to come :wink:
