Really still in the planning stages...
 
I dunno.....It really adds to the character of the bike....but what are you offering????

Sweet looking Western Flyer. I really like the shape of the down tube. I used a frame like that on my last project but the back half was bent up and I replaced it with the back end from a Murray girls bike. My only regret with the whole build is that by the time I was done moving the cranks forward I had lost the shape of the down tube. Oh well I still like it and maybe some day I will find one like this that isn't all bent up. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one. Here is a link to my build in case you missed it. viewtopic.php?f=21&t=9206
 
Well Speedy's been hard @ work on this project....I just haven't had a chance to upload updated pics. My bad guys. sorry, but here's some parts pics after he started working.

No, these parts aren't from the same bike, but I hear they might be used in build...
