This bike was posted on CL on Monday. It had only been up for 23 minutes when I saw it. I had to work that night and the bike was a 2 hour drive away. I sent the gentleman a polite email asking if I could look at the bike on Tuesday after I had got home and had a chance to sleep. I didn't think he would call me back, but he did. He said that he would hold the bike for me since I was the first to reply. Needless to say, I bought it.
Here are some better pics.

Wow, sounds like a stand-up dude. Glad you got it.
 
Popped on this yesterday. It was listed as a 50s Western Flyer. Turned out to be a juvenile model. Threaded bottom bracket for a Fauber crankset? Tweaked pretty hard, but no dents. After a lot of digging, looks like it may be a Great Western Mfg bike. 1920s or abouts. Probably be a wall hanger unless some parts fall in my lap for cheap.

Industrial bike score. A Schwinn Heavy Duti, a pair of Torkers, a Husky HD 120 plus two more Heavy Duti frames, some rims and the bike rack.

I had not seen these Torker bikes before today. Massive tubing. Never motorized a bike before. This might be the one.

Some sweet rims on the Torkers.

Yorkers were great heavy-duty BMX bikes way back in the early days. Great construction and quality bikes in the early days.
