my birthday present.....murray fleetline!

[texasbigjon]

bought this baby off of a customer of my bar,for $80! price started out at $200,but after feeding him some ice cold lone stars and some killer shots,it was time to go for the kill! :wink: but the bike has a BENT FORK! :shock: how about $80?...SOLD! gonna take it apart,clean and straighten the metal,fix the fork,and throw some old white tires on it! oh yeah, and ride it! 8)

Very cool bike. Never seen that bike before. An X53 cousin

 

[Stonefish]

this is a nice bike...fork can be fixed. Open up the tank and light to ensure no batteries were left in it.

What a cool bike. Love the chain ring.......

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

did kids just go around riding into heavy solid objects in the 50s or what? never seen so many bent forks until i joined this forum and started buying old bikes. that one is really cool btw

 

[Stonefish]

Ever try to stop a fully loaded balloon bike? :lol:

[texasbigjon]

No joke! I can't figure out myself why so many forks are bent, especially as badly as they are.

That's is a KILLER find! Some of my personal favorites are the Murray made bikes.... a bike near identical to yours has been on ebay recently, same condition, I think they were asking $1000 :shock: What a beauty!

Very sweet bike indeed.

Can't wait to see it all fixed up. :wink:

I agree . . . you should be ashamed taking advantage like that! :wink:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

 

[Rat Rod]

A drunk and his Murray will soon part ways....ha ha! :lol:

 

[jaydub]

You should have gave him a 80 dollar tab to work off ...then it costs you less... :lol:

What a cool bike..bet it will ride nice.. :wink:
