Old murray makeover

[Captain Scrappy]

Found this bike cheap and was looking for something to mess around with.

Broken it down and acid dipped frame

Cleaned it up little bit

Then put little powder on it

Then put back together and still waiting on some cream colored vintage tires and might chop up rear fender and put back on. Maybe another seat.. decisions?

That turned out really well!!

Wow, nice job!
The cream tires will really pop on there.
If you're not 'feeling' that seat, a nice dark brown Brooks B72 would look sweet on it.

Or perhaps a seat from our member @ifitsfreeitsforme.
Thompson Classic Bicycle Componets!

Neat dude like the color.

Are you sure that's a Murray?

If Murray made cool bikes like this they would still be in bidness.

Sweet ride dude.

Could be a Murray branded bike, or maybe Kent. Looks like Huffy-style welded stand/bottom fender bridge, seat stay bends, Pacific "Schwinn" style upper bridge and chain stay bends and/or AMF chain guard mounts. I'd guess made in Taiwan regardless of brand, but I'm just guessing.

80s-era Taiwan Schwinn. Came out nice. I'd buy the fork, if you're selling it.

That's kinda what I thought 808!
