Western Flyer is the brand name for the bikes sold by Western Auto stores. They contracted with most all of the major bicycle manufactures at some point, I have seen CWC, Huffy, Roadmaster, Murray, and even some British built bikes. I would not be surprised if Columbia/Westfield made any Western Flyers, but I cannot say for sure.

That's kind of what I thought. I have a tank from a WF Repop..so I need a WF..or identical..frame to use it..j

Post a pic of the tank and someone will point you in the right direction.

Westfield is the company that made Columbia bicycles.

Some of the WF repops are based on the (westfield) Columbia bikes of the 40s and 50s. The only original ones I've seen are two mid-late 50s straight bar frames I probably paid too much for! They might be middleweights, can't really tell. Western Auto used almost everybody at one time or another, even Evans! -Adam

Go look at the bike and take your tank with you so you acn fit it to the frame.
