The Western Flyer isn't the prettiest gal at the ball......but she sure is a smooth ride. Rides like a Cadillac. It's a shame she's going to give up her parts for 2 other Cleveland Welding bikes I have.



 
And this really sweet Huffy 24". I don't know a thing about it as far as year but it's really clean. Only needs a detail to look almost new. I found one chip on the paint, chromes really nice and the seat is perfect.





 
Road Master, my plans are to clean the springer up and put it on this Hawthorne. I need the rims, seat (has a nice set of chrome springs), chain and some of the hardware for another project. I'm undecided on the front light. The rest will be parted out and sold or stored for now. Heck the horn even works on the lady Flyer.

Yeah, I'd rather see the springer on the Hawthorne also - I'm a real sucker for curved fender braces. If you do decide to sell the headlight keep me in mind - I've got Shockmaster springer with the built in headlight mount but no light for it. Have fun with your new toy!
 
Great finds. Blue bike is cool, but yellow huffy is COOOOOOL! I have a 26" chrome frame just like that with the two top bars poking out - no one has been able to ID the frame for me - so I guess it's a huffy COOL BIKES!!!!
 
The wheels on the Western Flyer look like 80s ARAYA or UKAI.

Do they have the little bumps in the rim where the spoke nipples are?

If you part it, and the bikes a 26", I may be interested in the tank. Let me know. thanks


I'd sell the tank. I'll get it off and get some good pictures of it. Send me a PM.

No bumps. They look like the factory wheels on my other Cleveland Welding bikes....flat with an outside groove on the edge.
