It's a Taiwan Monkey Ward's "Free Spirit" looks like it sat somewhere warm and overly dry for a long time. Have it on CL for $30 with no bites so I might have to try to improve on it's cheap-o looking factor a little. Thinking the decals and chainguard need to go, maybe lose the fenders and flip the bars too.

Does that leTour have a Deore LX read derailer on it? Lots off skinny tire bikes.

It says EX 300 on it I think. Really nice, plan to train on it while I overhaul the World Voyager, the mixtie is going to be the "kid seat" bike for the summer, easier to dismount with a giant baby seat on back. The Raliegh is going to single speed town tonight, putting some new Xmas Park tools to work.

Balloon tire Western Flyer with a nice rear reflector, stainless fenders, nice seat and Goodyears, xbrace bars, skiptooth chain, drop stand with clamps...razor edge triple drops...got the first call in on it yesterday when it popped up on CL for $10, but then had to call and cancel because I couldn't make it out to pick it up. Guy said he had about 5 others interested, so I figured it was gone. Showed up again today for $20, so I made the time when I saw the photos of it.

The Westwinds are actually very fair on her.

Trying to get the disc brake wheel I got a little while back on this old Montgomery Ward's 10 speed, but the frame isn't quite wide enough. Has some big funky shifters and is super clean none the less. Couldn't resist the ugly... :D

You need that wheel or just a rear wheel with a skiptooth cog? I can probalby help if it's the latter. Send me an email, see what I can dig up. :wink:

Where are you putting all of these?!? Does Beth have any idea what she agreed to when she gave you half the basement? :lol:

Yeah, it's getting kind of tight. There are a few starting to straggle their way out of their bounds. I managed to hang two or three in the garage without any comments...two have since been sold and one canibalized into a pile of parts bound for ACME.
