26" 50s Western Flyer Rat Rod Bicycle With Cool JC Higgins Chainguard And X53 Fork. Condition is UsedI've built and ridden this bicycle in several forms over the years and have decided to let it go as you see it here. Not gonna make any more time for it. It has recently been completely media blasted, primed, and is currently in a flat olive with some hand buffing for sheen. Frame and shortened fenders are free of pitting. Added JC Higgins chain guard and X53 fork do have noticable pitt...ing. Plating issues are present and fork hardware has been clearcoated. Wheels (originals didn't work out) are from a much later Murray and ride fine. Tires are very nice and rideable Sears Allstate with no cracks. The front fender braces are "placeholders" and interfere with the spring action of the fork, as I do not have the proper braces. I rode it without the front fender but wanted to include it here. Bars are old motorbike with missing cross brace. Bottom bracket and crankset are from the original Western Flyer and have been fully cleaned and greased. Mesinger seat is nice enough but from unknown bike. Several non-original hardware bits. Headlight has no working internals and is from a late 30s Chevrolet (I think). I will include pedals although not shown. Overall a nice bicycle that just needs a few personal finishing touches. Some rare nice parts here. No reserve!!
