What Do I Have Here?!? Tank Bike

[ANDRURS]

I just bought a really cool looking Western Flyer bike... but I do not know much about it. Can anyone give me some histroy on what I have? Year, value, etc...

The seat did not come with the bike so I know that is not correct, I think it is missing a front light / horn, and a rear reflector. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Welcome aboard! Introduce yourself in the Intro section. Is there a photo of your bike?

Thank you! I've just posted a link with a picture of the bike as well.

Love it as is! Grease it up, put a better seat on it, and ride it.

It doesn't need restoring...Look up Bike2112s builds and see what he does..

Thanks everyone! It has amazing patina and the neat car racer design ads some great character (I think.) For now I'll leave it as is.

I did post in the ID section of the site to try and learn more about the bike. It's missing a few pieces and I'd like to make it complete... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again!

The graphics are great! I also like how they just added more grips by pushing the old ones on further.

It's also a Monark built WF, which isn't common, though there are a few around. -Adam
