Re: my new project
Hey rico, the fenders are totally awesome. Just be careful when coming off a sidewalk. The bottom tends to grab and it makes for some teeth grinding, I know from experience.

Re: my new project
Really looks like that Western Flyer reproduction I built my Zig Zag out of. Same two piece tank that kind slides over each side,and the thing had a sticker for a head badge so no holes.

Re: my new project
I think they just made up some numbers . I can check on mine. I think they were made in the mid 80's. I might be wrong. They were a reproduction of a 50's Western Flyer. I'm not sure of the value of them. Some people get a couple hundred for a nice one and others sell them for a nickel. :shock: :shock: They are made ok from what I could tell. I never cut the frame so I dont know the thickness of the tubing.
