Strange but cool girls 20"

[pick]

Picked this up dirt cheap just because I thought it was cool with some awesome parts. Looks like some kid's attempt at a chopper in the 60's. I may stick a correct size wheel on the front & fix it up for my grand daughter. I love the patina but she probably won't.

Western Flyer, made in Belgium.

Cool frame for sure!

That is one crazy nightmare with some great parts.

That chainguard is wild!

Cool horse head grips.

Wouldn't you love to talk to the kid that customized it originally! It would be hard for me to repaint it. Get it riding and if she doesn't like it, find her another and keep that one as is for a wall hanger.

That bike would be right at home here...

Are you saying it is a strange but cool 20" bike for a girl or a 20" bike for strange but cool girl?

Either way I love it!

Both!

I would sell them but they are pretty hard & not pliable. One of them is cracked. It you are still interested I can send you pics. Would work good for display. I don't think they will fall apart but at the same time who knows?

Swap that front little wagon wheel with a complete Radio Flyer and mount it on the wall!! That is a sweet little chopper!!

Watch out! Judd's eyeballin those tiger grips! Cool Pick!!

 

[pick]

He was. They are hard as a rock & one of them is cracked. If they weren't they would already be his. They may be usable but not in super good shape. Would be ok for display though.

 

[oldfart36]

That's to bad!!

The funky guard 3 piece crank, and chrome fork crown are all hallmarks of Euro imports from the 60s. Most were made by Steyr/Daimler/Puch. -Adam
