I bought this Western Flyer a couple of months ago. Here's a couple of cool shots:

Old, fairly complete, Huffy cruiser -- brought home for a song! I immediately noticed lots of water leaking out around the front assembly when loading it in the trunk. I later discovered the front fork was filled with rain water. As I continued working with the bike, I began noticing an odd...

Caught a wiff'a you cats while researchin' some old cruisers a couple weeks ago... my nose has been stuck here ever since! I know it's wise to linger a while on a forum before joining, but I've never been known for my wisdom :wink: I had to jump right in! A bit about me: I'm involved with...
