What's up fellas? Haven't posted in a while, hope your'e all well. Today something good happened; I finally found myself a bike :mrgreen: . I know theres a ton and a half out there but, you know, price, style, condition...etc. It's a Western Flyer Grand Trophy. Not sure about the year, can't find a serial number anywhere. Got it from a guy in Kerrville, Tx who said its a ' 70; supposedly last year of that production model. Can't find too much info on the web either. I'd appreciate it if anyone whose come across one of these can shed a little light on it. Saw two pics, but the forks were both different. Replaced?

weak sauce man. HAHAHAH Just kidding, Kerrville was fun. Did you already wash it down? Looks shiny.......whats first to buy?

 

[meezonweelz]

Nah, not yet. Thinkin essentials 1st, chain, tires. pedals gotta go.

Id say its from the 80's even early 90's, but im no expert

 

[meezonweelz]

Cool. I wanted somethin that I could strip down to customize. But it's in good shape, so if it was at least somewhat uncommon, I'd just leave it as is.

that looks just like a Huffy Good Vibrations. That's a good start.

Apparently, they slapped that name on a lot of different bikes! Yours looks quite like an early-mid 90s Huffy Good Vibes., as was said. Muddy's has a totally different frame, and the one I have is a bit different still!

 

[meezonweelz]

Nice! I'm thinkin it's a newer model, especially cuz the 'Grand Trophy' letterings kinda eighties lookin. Slippery bike manufacturers.... Thanks fellas
