Need help on this one. Just went and picked it up from my dad's old barn Saturday 1/10/15. This was his bicycle which my Grandma purchased for him from a catalog his senior year of school (1951). I'd love to restore it. But,, it is missing some parts. Since I've got it home and done some research on it.
I've come up with:
It's a Flightliner made by Murry ( Chain guard still reads Flightliner )
Has a bracket on the front fork for a Springer suspension. My dad said he took the Springer off cause he kept getting his pant legs caught in it. ????
He also said that it had a tank. But, the tank did NOT have a light in it like most of the ones I've been seeing on the web.
I've not been able to make out the #'s on the bottom of the Bottom Bracket. Going to try and get better readings tomorrow after work.
Can anyone tell if this is indeed a 1951 model without the #'s on the bottom ?
Also,, can anyone post a pic of a Tank without a light in it ? And,, if you could point me in the right direction as to where I might find a tank and what the tank looked like for that year.
ALSO,,,, I've located a person on this site that has a tank he's willing to sell me. Except it has a light in it. He's not sure what year it came off of though.
Thanks in advance !!!
