Western Flyer

A friend dropped off this old Western Flyer 3 speed yesterday. The wheels and seat were shot so I replaced the wheels (the new rear being a 2 speed kickback) and the saddle with a Brooks. Regreased everything and added a basket.

As I received it.
The cable to the 3 speed hub was missing so someone stuck a bolt in the actuator to get the gear they wanted.
After the parts swap. some greasing and cleaning. Rides nice.
If I were to keep it I’d probably add a kickstand.

  1. I have a Hawthorn that looks very similar to this one. It is a little more orange in the paint and rides like brand new. Love th e red that you have on it now though.
