Vintage Western Flyer 10 Speed

I finally had time to take all of my scrap metal to the recycling center today....472 pounds worth. I have a trade arrangement with the owner that when he has cool vintage bikes that I like that I take those on trade instead of taking the cash. I lucked out and scored a nice Western Flyer 10 speed and a Schwinn Stingray bike. I am not sure if the Stingray is original or a reproduction. I will examine it more to determine. The Western Flyer cleaned up very nicely! I spent about 4 hours cleaning and polishing the bike today and it looks practically brand new. I rewrapped the bars in French Blue cloth tape and basically just maintenanced and cleaned! I was really surprised to see how nice the bike actually was under all the crud! I still have to replace the tube on the rear wheel so I will take care of that in the next few weeks . For now I am going to enjoy the bike! I hope I score again the next time I visit the scrap yard!!! Here is a before picture...I will try and post an after picture on Friday! Enjoy! I posted after pictures of the Western Flyer 10 speed...fresh french blue handle bar wrap, new front reflector and 4 hours of serious cleaning and polishing! This bike looks practically brand new! Nice find!
