Western Flyer Year?

[80sbikedude]

Need help finding out what year a Western Flyer is. Only numbers I can find are on the headtube. Has original chain guard that says "7buzz bike ......W/A". another thing is the chain guard goes behind the seat stay and mounts to rear drop. any help would be appreciated Can get pics later on if needed.

They are usually made by Murray, Huffy or AMF which can be identified by pics because of a few differences each make has but here is a little help if it's a Murray by the serial number that starts with MO.

I believe it a AMF made one. No pointy dropouts like Murray. AMF Chainring too.

so what year you think it is?

It has the BMI sticker on the seat tube,and it is an AMF. I'd guess 1971.

It has a 7 on the chain guard right after Buzz bike if that helps??

correction......7 is before Buzz Bike. Reads 7Buzz Bike...........W/F

Good looking bike, i need to check it out in person.

You all are wrong...I question if that chaingaurd is original to this bike, it is an AMF bike and gaurd, but that is a coincidence. That headbadge was introduced in the early 1980s, around 1982 or so. This is probabaly an MX bike of some kind, I'll check my ads.

Looks like a full size chainring, and the color and WF logo look like the Grand trophy era. -Adam
