Im gonna sell my 47 CWC western flyer this coming weekend at Bicycle Heaven's Swap meet in Pittsburgh.
This is my Western Flyer I just picked up this week. It's definitely pre-war and am thinking it's mid 30's to late 30's era. It's rusty, the tires are rotted, the front wheel has a few broken spokes and it's missing its chain and chain guard...... BUT IT'S BEAUTIFUL and I love it!!
The blue WF was my first bike as an adult, a $10 garage sale find (without the bell, headlight, and siren), its was my only bike for about 6 or 7 years, then I discovered the group of folks now known as the Coasters Bicycle Club and the number of bikes grew to dozens. The addiction is now under control, I/we now only have a couple of dozen bikes.
The green WF was going to be flipped, I put tires on it and was going to sale it, until CrazyMae seen it, and TOLD me I was not going to sell it ,that it was now hers. Oh Well.
This WF is the Rust Rat my RRBBO3 build. A Huffman built bike related to the Twin-Flex.
with cream Electra 2.35 tires.

...although it has a rack on it now, but I don't have any good pictures of it that way.

My 38 Huffman flyer in prewar Cleveland flyer trim. It's a little mixed up but all western flyer
It wasn't me I swear.
1930's Shelby built Western Flyer Moto. Awesome rider on Velocity hoops, Amsterdam tires.
heres my 39 western flyer with art deco child seat.
That's the same bike with Clear over the original paint? Wow.here's her finished ride
Great little bike. Looks like you used one rear fender to make both the front and the rear fender. Great look.Not sure if Western Flyer or Sears...any ideas? My only hint that it may be a Sears, is the chrome cap on the fork. Anyway, I have dubbed it the 'Deco Flyer'. Part BMX, part Lowrider, with a Deco flair.
That is such a cool gift. Anyone can buy a clothing gift. But something like this is always remembered as an Original gift. Very CoolPicked this Western Flyer up the other day and put some new tubes in and a few small adjustments and been riding it a good bit since. Gf's birthday is the 5th so gave it to her earlier this evening as a early present, she loves it and wants to fully restore it.
Removed the basket to try and straighten it out alittle...
Thinking its a 50's model but maybe someone can tell me for sure...
