Thanks @Pondo I am very happy with it. It took a little surgery on the head tube to get there. This fork is only useable in combination...

Finally finished cleaning up the detached garage last night. Here's what it looked like before: And here's what it looks like now...

Ha, thanks Matti! Not sure this Western Flyer will have hub shiners again, but I may consider putting them back on. Thanks! Ha, I wish...
