Western Flyer Wheelie Bike

[Jaxon]

You guy remember my wheelie bike frame they painted pits and all...lol So it has just been sitting around with some interest lost on it. Then I spied the serial number on the frame a few weeks ago. It gave me some renewed interest in it again. L000029

Sweet!
Any idea how many were made?
Maybe a little filler and a two tone design?

That is way cool, the 29th built?!? Time for some filler and new paint.

Holly Crap Jaxon that is fantastic!!! I'm spraying primer on a rusty Huffy Wheel Bike (chain guard) as we speak. But I am going the extra mile and filling in the pits before painting Lol...

 

[CRASH]

I'm still surprised and slightly upset that they didn't fix that. I'm still ready to build its wheels when you're ready!

They were made for 2 years I think. Not sure how many were sold.

I am keeping you in mind Crash. I think I might get the rims re chromed along with the other chrome pieces.

Bring your wallet. I'm waiting for a Huffy Rail/Super Stock sprocket and Flaming Stack guard to get done. I spent $55 on the sprocket and $110 on the guard.

What diameter wheels were used for the wheelie wheels? Were they skateboard sized wheels?

They are a 3" x 1" hard rubber wheels. There are 2 of them. They look like wheels from a shop cart.

Glad to see you working on that again ( course if you lost interest the snows gone enough for me to drive up
Very neat on the serial #, nice low production number.

(off topic, but makes me think of my ongoing project 72 Nova.. serial 00005, built June 1971 ) .
