'Lil Knee Scuffer
Yesterday I picked up a 26" girls Western Flyer bike from a friend's parent's home. The bike is in great shape with minor wear but the tires are original. So am thinking from a safety standpoint the tires should be replaced. The front tire has some minor checking on the bottom but the rear has some cracking on the sidewalls. The paint in in great shape so am cleaning with mild soap and water. The intertubes look to be good but again they are probably 50 years old. If I do need to replace the tires did Western Flyer ever use white side walls? They would really set off the look but I'd like to stay original. Only item missing is the front headlight as a basket was put on the bike at some time in its timeframe.
Girls certainly took good care of their bikes compared to us guys back then.
