Good afternoon y'all... this is my first post here, I bought a 1959 Western Flyer, Golden Flyer at a garage sale in Houston just this afternoon... seemed too cool to pass up, no idea what it's worth... anyone have an idea? Paid $150, I figured if it was a bad deal it's not too much money to blow, it wouldn't be the first time I blew $150...
I'd like to restore it, and use for a neighborhood cruiser to the local bar and so on... no idea where to find parts for it... Looks like it needs a new carrier rack, the one on the rear wheel is broken. The tank is pretty much intact except for a small rust hole (rusted all the way through ) on the top, and one of the lights is missing a cover. Any advice on where to find parts?
I got some new pedals, and rear wheel, the bike shop is rebuilding the bottom bracket, so it should be ridable in short order, but would be cool to start collecting the old original parts to fix it up.
