Here is a picture of the stamping's. What do you think it is? Come on...anybody?
I picked up this Western Flyer badged CWC a couple weeks back. I've decided to make it a rider for the summer, so I put on a newer wheelset. The only regular chainring I had was this Huffy, which looks crappy...as does the aftermarket chainguard....so I decided to just stop right here until I get a red CWC guard and a nicer chainring....but you get the idea. Here is a before and after.

Looks nice Terry, that thing cleaned up well. Thanks for posting, and I love the colors Man!
Terry, what do you think that frame is? What's your best guess? I'm seriously curious.Chris....Well, I can say that I wanted that fork and was next in line if you wouldn't have bought it!

Ok Rafael... Did a little googling. So it appears this bike maker truly does exist , Kudos to you Bro. How do you come to that conclusion? That's interesting.

It's all about the tanklights
Newest update pics of the Western Flyer a friend and I have been rebuilding.
He decided to repaint the bike blue to this Robin egg color.
I left that repaint job up to him as I rarely will repaint bikes.
Was this to begin with

How did I run out of room so fast?

Decided to finish this up for the most part last night. Swapped the girls TOC hbars back with the hbars with the rare grips that came with the bike, back on the bike. Also reinstalled the McGiver'd rear rack. Hey, it came with the bike and the last rider/owner who built this bike wanted it on there...gotta respect that.Not done yet but it's getting there.
1937-38 Roadmaster Roadster Fleetwood.

I do have a set of Duro Cremes in route for a little more flavor and should look good with the repainted brown matching set of dropcenters which is a close match to the custom repaint job the owner did back then.
I did take it for a test drive and the bike is a bear to pedal. I need to adjust the crank and probably rebuild the rear hub with better replacement parts as its hard to brake at the moment.
All in all this has been a fun yet frustrating at times, revival.
Oh and I thought I lost the Fleetwood headbadge but, I found it after a major shop cleanup. Daggum I hate misplacing key parts. But, overjoyed when I find them.

The cream tires look good, but I like the blackwalls better. It's just me though...
