[BankerRAt]

No much of a girls vintage bicycle fan. I couldnt pass this one up! I got it for $50. She said she remembered when her sister bought it was at the Western Union store in Worcester MA.

Nice find Glenn! That's quite the score for $50.

I have a girls western flyer and I was told it was a victory bike built from a pre war frame built around 1947, that why its red, white and blue. I'm not sure if that right or not, but you do have a nice bike there.

I wouldnt mess with it either, its a nice complete original bike. Nice find

I forgot to ask... Did you check the tires to see if they are original/period? I can't really figure it out looking at the photos. They don't look too bad considering.

 

[BankerRAt]

No they aint original Chris. Nice tires though! Ill probably put some originals that I have in my basement. Hey think about what I said for "that" bike

feel ya on the vintage girls bikes. there are only so many i can build up for my wife. thats what happened to the hawthorne i got (been wanting a men's hawthorne for a while) that was a girls bike, or i like to say "step thru frame" when i ride it. to change it would be too hard for me to bring myself to do. keep er as is.
