Another 20 showed up tonight

[pick]

My son pulled this out of the dumpster at work today & brought it to me. My wife was thrilled. NOT! Anyway, it screams mini board tracker to me. 1950's? Western Flyer:





My apologies for the crappy pics, all I have is my cell phone camera.

We don't have dumpsters like that here. Dang nice WF.

Kickstand attachment bracket looks Monark like. Gary

Dang Pick, by the title I was hoping it was a different bike. But that is still a cool little rig.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

I like it!

20" ballooners are always cool! My first thought is CWC built. It's hard to distinguish 20ers sometimes because their geometry is so different from their 26" counterparts and there aren't many floating around for reference.

A serial number should help though if you're interested in an ID.

All I see thee is a mini Klunker!

 

[rrtbike]

Mini board tracker?....awesome!

 

[kingfish254]

I agree that it has a CWC vibe to it. Maybe even late 40s?
Lot of cool options for that bike. Get a bunch of kiddie license plates and do a yoothgeye tag tank.

Jpromo: All that I can read on the BB is: B08651 AC

I keep coming up with these 20" bikes. Sometimes I wish I was shorter!

 

[LIVE TO RIDE]

Man that's rad!!Don't see too many 3 bar 20s.

Riding comfortably doesn't interest me, but you are right, it would make a cool Pig Bike.

I'm with ya CeeBee, probably why I have back problems! I actually will probably build it for my grandson. I don't think he has ever ridden a conventional regular type bike.

Sweet. I've been acquiring 20"rs for my son for a bit. They are hard to come by, besides convertibles.

Definitely does not look like a monark. They have similar builds on the rear stays as their 26" big brothers.

Nice find.

 

[Onewheelsqueel]

20" Monark built Higgens for reference.

 

[dos cruiser]

I'd say late 40's early 50's with the wheel adjuster screws. I like it.

I bought this bike off CL a few months ago. It's missing the headbadge but I was guessing Western Flyer by the chainring. I have since took it apart and added a sweet custom springer to it. I've also started a thread on the build on the RRB#9 buildoff section.
