Pre- Christmas Score

[Fahrrad]

I went and picked theses up today. A his and hers, almost match set of Firestone bikes. A 26" men's Flight 880 and a 24" women's 550. Both have a red banded Bendix hub, and I was able to ride them at the location. Owner was not sure the age, I think '70s, but appears 80-90 original. I The seat on the girls does not look right and the tank light is missing the chrome top piece and switch. Tires and tubes are probably not original, but still older. Let me know what you guys think, please chime in if you know the years. I will try to get better picks up tomorrow.

AMF only used those star sprockets from '58-'63ish. Great finds. Wash, wax, and ride!

Thanks guys, that is the plan. Do a tune up, just to make sure everything is in order, polish the chrome clean 'n' wax the paint, and ride them.

You the one with the '56 roadmaster? If so I am glad you turned me down on the request to deliver to Waco.

 

[glenn rich]

sorry about that,didnt know you were a rat rodder,kind of cautious dealing with people of the internet

 

[Fahrrad]

Don't be, I completely understand. That is pretty far, that is why I was asking you to deliver. Again good luck with the sale, that is a sweet looking bike, but until I get some things sold, I am done for a while.
