That redline is bad to the bone....Can you post some close ups of that 10 cruiser/racer..LOL..Neat finds.
Do you think the bars are stock..or seat ? The shifters are cool I have a pair like that to sell.

I believe the top one is an AMF, lots of those are starting to show up on here.

Ben is right, the top one is an AMF or possibly WF, factory made in the 1970's... I believe that rear dropouts are made of fiberglass and not steel, that this was intended to be a light weight, multi-speed cruiser. The equipment is very likely to be all original.

The top one I was thinking an old Murray with that wierd rear triangle (I have one of those also)on my to do list

It is definitely a factory made frame, similar looking to a huffy or Murray cantilever but not identical or anybody's home made frame. I believe that if you look at the other side of the frame there is no place where you could mount a coaster brake strap or bolt the lever to (being the shape and size of the dropouts)... if that's the case, then I'd say it's totally original. Any one of these I've seen as a complete, original bike had those wheels, too.

Nice finds, the stingray is cool too! :mrgreen:
 
the view topic that ratina posted is the same frame as mine ., 8) mine is badged WESTERN FLYER sorry i didnt include a pic of it im just tryn to find out the og equipment ,the rear wheel is schwinn and if you all notice it has regular hand brakes on the handle bars ! i think i defentlly want to beef it up if i keep it ? unless its worth something the way it is thanx for all the input everyone i love this club...soooo 8)
