Here's is a more recent picture. I was able to tighten up the rear hub and make the bike more rideable but! The wheels are still pretty shot. I might eventually get new spokes and try to salvage these wheels. There is still a slight rub against the frame and fork. Otherwise, since my last...

I'll be sure to bring cash and hope to come home with some random parts :D I'm pretty excited about this event!

This might be my first ever bike show & Swap meet. Just as long as no other racing events pop up!

WOW I love the color combo! Seeing Western Flyers like this, make me have second thoughts about keeping mine with that rusted look :D

Thanks guys! And jd56, they're that rare?!?! I'm still on the fence about using it or not :/ we shall see

I decided to start taking it apart to do some clean up and swap tires and get new inner tubes... Then randomly decided I wanted to chop the rear fender. I used tire chalk to mark it and a dremel to cut and grind it down. And this is how it sits after a couple days of some basic wrenching...

The bikes look amazing! But my car guy side has to point out... Is that a Delorean back there?!?!

Let's bring this thread back from the dead. So is there any Detroit club? Oooor should we maybe start one with an "official" Facebook page and everything? (facebook makes everything official!) haha

Northville! Well that ain't too far! We might have to find all the other locals and set up a future ride! (if there isn't one already haha) And thanks Junknutz, I'm falling more and more in love with this bike haha. And leads on where I might be able to pin point it's year? Having a little...

My name is Matt and I live in MI, originally from NY. I've been on and off this site for the past couple years. I've had an old kids Schwinn Stingray for years that I've neglected and finally got it from NY and brought it with me with intentions to fix it up. I also just picked up, today, an...
