another Craigslist find

drove 100 miles 1 way to get these. First is a (i dunno) 26" girls bike. Red stripe Bendix hub. What is that? I may do a gender swap on it, not sure. I like it.
Next is an older? Iverson kids bike, solid tires, coaster brake. Plastic Troxel seat (cracked). Convertible. Tank is removable. Whats its age and value?

serial #463110 088833 or D88833

Iverson kids serial on right dropout 9 7067

I may just hang the Iverson from a tree and hang my house number from it. Unless its worth big bucks.....

100 miles :?: Someone has caught " the Fever "

 

[Voyager Al]

the price was right.......

The womens bike is a Murray built. It's from the early 60's and from the ____liner series of bikes. I had a Sears Flightliner from 1963 with that same chainguard. In 1964 they switched to a different style.

This may or may not be a Sears branded bike. Murray built that same frame for many brands.

I just went down and washed them both. Sears tires on the gals bike.
The Iverson washed up like NEW. Just a lil bit of rust on the wheels. Shiney paint. Almost looks new. Found instructions under the tank.. Not yellowed too much. Like a 10 year old paper. Not real rusty under tank. I am baffled. Repop Iverson? Its decals on the triple tree type front forks....

Those decals look like reflector tape, which was an aftermarket accessory. They are a pain to remove so you probably should just leave them on.

As for the Sears bike, I'm thinking an early 60's Flightliner. A decent parts bike, but I wouldn't try to save it. It looks like spray paint and thats worse than the brush on stuff.

 

[dogdart]

The Iversons lack of reflectors makes me think it's earlier than 10 years :idea:

Both bikes look cool. depending on where they was stored it would be hard to figure out the age of the iverson by the paper instructions
