'59 Western Flyer, noob

whats up guys, im new to this whole gasbike thing, but want to save money on gas, i live in town and dont really have need for a car unless its rainin. i searched the web looking at pics of peoples bikes, the numerous styles surprised me, so i settled with trying to find a vintage bike (i like the way they look,) so i was crusin around town and found this one, its a '59 26 in western flyer, the serial number on it is 0523051, and from what ive read online people play lots of money for em, it was in pretty nasty shape when i got it and i totally forgot to take a picture of it b4 starting work on it, herse some pics, still in the sanding process.

Nice! I love the ol' cruisers, they make such sweet MBs... which is good, 'cause they're sure no fun to pedal far lol

Defo gonna hafta remember to take pics as ya go along, if ya want - ya outa start a build thread here: Board Trackers and Vintage Motorized Bicycles

Welcome to the addiction heh

Welcome to the Forum. Great bike, super price. I had one just like it in the early 60's, upside-down steerhorn handlebars and all! And, the Wisconsin Dells is a totally awesom place to ride a bike/trike, especially motorized. Foliage, rock colors, clear water are beautiful, especially in the fall!

Welcome. Nice score on the bike. It will make a real nice MB. I pass through the dells on my way home to northeastern Minnesota in a week or so. I always enjoy seeing the country there.
