Western Flyer Before and After

[Mope Head]

Finally got around to this one. Tried to salvage the paint under a horrible spray-bombbut it was not to be so I went with a powdercoat copper vein frame and soft gold tank and chainguard. Still need to powdercoat the bars, gooseneck, and seatpost with a 40% black and add a lower profile brown seat and matching grips.

Wow, nice work! That's looks like a fun bike to ride!

 

[Mope Head]

Thanks. Yes, I'm sure it's fun to ride...If I could just get it back from the Mrs.

Nice ride!

Nice! . Did you straighten the fork using the Sheldon Brown 2X4 method?

 

[Mope Head]

Nah. It was bent and twisted. I used the Mope Head method of scavenging one from a donor in the scrap pile.

Very nice! Love the color combo.

WOW I love the color combo! Seeing Western Flyers like this, make me have second thoughts about keeping mine with that rusted look

Classic!

Sometimes that is the smart option!

Great bike, love the color choice, looks amazing!

Luke.

Thanks, It's still a work in progress. It's in the process of becoming a Guinness theme bike. I'll post pics later this week.

Looks good. Color combo is spot on.

 

[Mope Head]

Well, it's getting there! A few details to tighten up but here it is...

Love it. And that's my favorite beer.

How much did the powder coat cost?

I wish I could say. A buddy of mine did it for me as part of an ongoing battle for who is indentured to who..
