I always make everything real nice, so this bike was fun for a change. It's a Western Flyer Trophy, it was sold new through Western Auto stores. I bought it last weekend for $5.00. The bearings where out of the crank, but I had some on hand. After I lubed it up, and removed all the vines that were wrapped around the axles, I bobbed the fenders, installed a new Walmart whitewall 26X2.125 rear tire, then I painted the whitewall onto the cracked, and dry rotted original front tire. I'll pick up a new 26X1.75 whitewall when I get to a bike shop, but it rides good this way. The apes came off of my Shelby Stingray, and the red metalflake grips came off my Firestone bike. The rear reflector was on the rear wheel, and had an old bottle cap as a washer. I made a bracket, and hung it off the left side of the frame, and reused the bottle cap as the washer. I sprayed the bike down with insecticide, as it had some spiders still living on it, and the wasp nest had some larva still in it. Some fell out as I was working on it. I'm keeping the horn. I think Walmart sells this kind, so I'll buy a new one for the rubber bulb. As a plus, I ended up with two nice front baskets. Dean
