I saw that Murray on Ebay. Cool Score. Looks to be a early model. What year is it?

 

[Murray-Eliminator]

should be a 1965. i didn't ask for the serial#s. will check it when it comes in..

Nice acquisitions! That early Murray looks like it aill clean up very nicely. Always liked those checkerboard seats.

What headbadge is on the Otasco? It looks more square than the ones you usually see.

 

[Murray-Eliminator]

It has a oddball head badge. not the casket shaped one like the Eliminator badge you see on most.

Very nice! How is that plastic twist grip for comfort and usability? I've got a 5-speed for my daughter and I'm debating whether to use it because it looks like it would be uncomfortable.

Looks fantastic! As always, great detail job. You do it right by taking it apart and detailing everything. Glad to see that one back on the road!

the twist grip works great! these are much easier to use then the stick shifts. just not as kool..) but much safer for a child.

Nice Job on that bike Eddie!! I like the first pic of the pile of cleaned up parts ready to go back together.

Good to know. How about comfort? I'm concerned the plastic will hurt her hand from extended use.

 

[Murray-Eliminator]

flexing some muscle!

I would think it depends on the grips. if they have hardened over the years. but these seem fine to me. but again I don't ride them much.
