Early 50's Western Flyer with a "bow legged" springer... this one gets done the cowboy way. Everything disassembled I began the cleanup & rebuild. Just going to wire brush the chrome leaving rust on the painted parts. Howdy Springer!

That Is one cool trick or treat!

It was a very bent top tube but worked it out. The chain stays were a little off too. Rides well now!

There sure were a lot of bikes for us. That one is cool!

Looks like a one bike build off to me :wink: Metal Elgin Rules!

This was the best one I took from the Ft.Worth show. I still can't believe I got her. Appreciate your input and thanks!

I got my bike in.

It is a 28 Inch wheel.... My Bad Get ready for the other one on the board!

27 INCH wheels. Sorry 28 inch! Tires had turned to cement & the seat pan had rusted in half at the front. Otherwise complete. The fork looks a bit darker darker than the rest of the cycle, still matches the wear so I think it's original. Have not had time to look this bike up yet... I...
