DONT LAUGH..... ok as always i have been scounging for parts and old bikes but i've been wanting a internal geared rim for the longest time ....so today as always i am reading this stuff on here and i finally figure out where i have seen the rack on this bike before .....

it was on this bike a piece of lawn art ....

in my yard....

yep the cool rack i have been wanting since you first posted this and the rim i have been wanting for forever

i already own....DOH!

"And it has a lever shifted 2 speed rear wheel" thanks tnt1! {would have never noticed if you hadnt pointed it out}

anyone have any info on those lever shifted bendix two speed hubs?
this one's not working to my specifications. It just spins out in the higher gear.

Lucky bugger...

Man the paint on that Flyer is perrrrrfec for a Rat. You lucky bugger.

That's what I am looking for...something that looks like it has baked in the desert sun for 20 years!!!!!!!!

Some solid rims and PHAT tires...sweeeeeeeet.

a little update...
Tried to save this old seat..

 

[yustin]

I took it all apart and found a lot of rust.
Trimmed the rust off and polished the old metal.
Painted the bottom seat pan.

Tell me what you think...
I think it came out weird..
But at least its useable.

 

[yustin]

Put on some new tires and wheels.
still working on finding a fender, and a rack.
just cleaned up a little.

[fast eddie]

i gotta find a scrap yard to start diggin through!!!

 

[Firewalker]

that looks great! very nice I must say!!!

 

[ricksterr1221]

Okay that is the coolest seat, Personally i think it would look better without the racks, But i love the bike.

I like it without the rack and rear fender. Those supports are like some weird radar device or something! I might just take off the front fender and call it done!

Wow! Amazing what some elbow grease and a can of paint can do. That seat is fabulous, awesome look. Although I imagine not too comfortable for the next century ride. Personally I wouldn't change a thing, just enjoy it!
