Right, I guess restoring it to look as it did in its original new condition is out of the question. But what's stopping you from just using the frame/forks/etc to build a rad bike? Or is it just that you have SO MANY bikes already that it's easier to just work with something you have that won't...

Very pretty. I'm new to bicycles so out of curiosity, can you tell me why you wouldn't restore it?

I really need tools. Is there a list somewhere of the basic tools I need to have in order to completely strip a bicycle and reassemble it? I mean of course I have your basic stuff like screwdrivers, wrenches, sockets, allen wrenches, etc. But what else should I buy? What's the most important...

I'm also in Oklahoma, in Norman.

Thanks for the advice. I wonder how big of a wrench I need for that, none of the ones I have seem big enough.

Okay so my research indicates this is an AMF Western Flyer, from all the pictures I've found. Does anyone know what year this might have come from?

I just started really looking at rat rods yesterday, and today I went out and bought my first beater to play around with. I got a pretty good deal on this one, I think, although I'm not even sure what it is. Any assistance or advice is very welcome. I've never even completely disassembled a...
