A few better pics of the Western Flyer

I drove through Tulsa 30 years ago (on the way to Chicago) and made a mental note to go back and spend some time there. Beautiful country - especially for someone who has spent his whole life in the dustier parts of Texas. But I haven't made it back yet.

Here's a crappy photo for the time being. I'll grab some better pics of the frame and wheels this evening. I agree - this frame has great lines. Here's the ad where I found it. I bought if for a blog post on how to build a $100 klunker (and possibly for BO 19.)

No spokes or hubs at all, and it came with good tires and tubes that hold air.

The Texas Ranger bike is not sticking around - I have a neighbor that is an actual Texas Ranger and is a Texas Ranger history buff. His wife is buying it to surprise him by hanging it in his man cave.

I just can't figure out how to tighten the wooden spokes!

I watched an ad for a Yard Art Western Flyer start at $75 and drop to $50 then $40 then $30. I went to pick it up last night and ended up with two more. I thought I'd share them here.

What an amazing cool old shop - is that in Broken Arrow?

It looks like it came with the bike from the factory. Well done!

I'm digging the weathered headbadge!

Do they make a dropper post for that thing?

Dang, it's fun watching all these mock-ups!

Will reverse cockpit work? I snapped this one on a trail ride this morning. (The trusty old Huffy Santa Fe II)

A bump for summer/fall...
