got a free western flyer today

[dragn91]

i spotted it beside a shed yesterday an stoped over after work and left my number. He called last night and said come get it. I filled the tires up and she rides pretty good. I think its prolly from the 70s or newer judging from the stickers. Its got a real cool basket that unlclips from the bracket on the bike when u lift up the basket handle. Plans are a bananna seat cuz I've always wanted one on a 26 inch bike. Take off the stickers swap out the bars for apes and clean up the rims and crank some.

Mine looked just like that originally and cost me the same amount of money.
Here it is with a little cold galvanizing & black paint

Worked on the western flyer today for about 45 mins and man what a change. I love it now. I went out to the parts stash and grabed an old orangeish bananna seat and a set of cool wide apes. It went together way to easy I'm trying to decide to keep the basket or not.
