Ok, so I go to a local draft horse, buggy, junk auction because I spy with my evil eye, this tanked bike I think is a Western Flyer (they painted over the headbadge). I get there a bit after 8am because I hear they're starting at 9. They don't start till 10. I hope they will start at my end and work towards the little stuff. They start at the little stuff and work towards me. At 12:30 they break off and go inside to auction off the buggys. Grrr. I go home for lunch. I come back at 1. at 1:30 they come back out to auction off stuff somewhere else. Double Grrr! finally at 3:30, they get back over to the area where I am waiting, and at 5:40 I FINALLY get my bicycle for all of 30 bucks. Sheesh, I could have gone to work, gotten paid, and still had time to get my bike. I'm tired.
Anyhoo, this bike is in very good condition for a rebuild, and save for the missing rods/tubes from the neck down to the front axle and the broken holder for those rods/tubes, it is ready for me to start.
Now, what is it? I have seen that headbadge before, and I should know what it is. Only thing is, I can't remember squat anymore it seems, and I would like your guys' help. Thought it was a western flyer based on shape until I got home and compared. My western flyer has a round top whereas this one is shaped. Any ideas? Thanks everyone!
