Help Support Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum:
I reserve “Totally Awesome” for very rare occasions but this bike is worthy of the phrase. It is a late 41 CWC produced Western Flyer, the best I have ever seen. The bike uses the fairly rare CWC “Tall Tank” straight-bar frame and tank which was their top-of-the line “A” series model and was only produced in 1941 and early 1942. In Roadmaster form it is also referred to in the Hobby as the “Feller bike for the period advertisements that featured endorsements by Bob Feller a famous player for the Cleveland Indians Baseball team.
I would guess it has a reasonably high “K” serial number as it has the 1942 paint scheme to the fenders (The dart color flows between the pinstripes instead of only forming only spade tips). The only thing I question is the braced drop stand. CWC used braced stands through 1937 but went to using a non-braced stand thereafter.
I would love to see more pictures of the bike!

LUCKY :mrgreen: Thats a great score. Great condition too :wink:
What a score! I have the same Western Flyer minus the tank, light, rack, stand (basically all the fun stuff) though mine did come with a lot more rust! Rms37 helped me identify mine and since I have only seen pics of two others, I will second his request for more pictures. Great bike!
