Received a cool 24 in. vintage girl's frame today.

Right now I'm thinking I'll change the colors, and take the wheels and rear derailleur off my wife's 24 in. cheapo mt. bike, along with the hand brakes, and make her a vintage driver. If I do it that way, I'll switch the tires to wide whitewalls. This was a great deal, I nabbed it for $4.99 plus shipping.

I still haven't gotten my hands on the 26 inch Western Flyer I won on ebay, my inlaws took delivery for me to save shipping. Hopefully I'll finally have that bike in another week.[/img]

sweet...looks like a Murray..are you sure its a 24"? Those fenders look huge!

Lucky! How come everywhere I search I can't find a bike for that price. Grrrr nice find!

It was an ebay purchase. I can't seem to find any smoking deals near me, but I keep looking.

that's exactly what I was going to say!

nice score either way!

kinda looks like my Murray Meteor Flite:

kinda looks EXACTLY like your bike Mark.

 

[Nitcat]

Yeah, that's probably what it is.

I'm pretty sure the fenders look like they came off of something else, they look too narrow for the bike.

I'm thinking about a white pearl color for the frame, don't know about the tank color.

One thing different from the Murray in the picture is mine has that front springer or whatever you call it.

 

[Markm]

youre right. Alot of other brands with this style...I dig it, laidback and "swoopy"!! Nice find!!

I think it's called a strutt bar...

and it's a very cool one!
