rusty.western.flyer Now on the pipe!

Hello,

This is my second motorized bike build, the first was a Dolomite fat tire, but it was stolen. Grr, guess they needed it more than me. Have to dig for pic of that one, but anywho....

Just installed a China girl on the Western Flyer Newsboy Special....

Thanks!

I didn't like the shiny black tank, so put some paint stripper on it before going home the other day, then proceeded to mist it with bleach...
 
Nice bike, Love the old cruiser style.
Matching the patina is a good Idea that will give new parts a nice vintage look
 
I am a professional car engine builder by trade. Took a Stihl head/jug and popped it on a China girl. Ran great on the stand, but I warped the spacer plate when pressing on the home made carb adapter and pulled the threads from the case. Sounded great, though.
