I can't believe this is still available. If I didn't have other things going on I would be buying this ASAP.

Thank you. By the way the Black Phantom was weighed with the seat installed unlike the picture I posted.

I weighed a few of mine and this is the result. All were weighed without batteries installed. There were to many bikes to move to get to the Bluebird. 1950 Black Phantom = 56 lbs 1950 Red Phantom = 57 lbs 1986 Columbia 5 Star = 56 lbs 1958 Western Flyer X53 = 57 lbs 1949 Schwinn B6 = 55 lbs...

Looks like an awesome bike. I have a Westfield version of the bike and it is really a great bike. Good luck with the sale.

‘57 Western Flyer X-53 at Caprock Canyons State Park Texas

I'm still interested in one as well. Thanks.

I was actually speaking in more general terms. I am no expert and should have said "correct parts." The correct rear reflector on the rear fender, the grips, the pedals, etc. Nothing that breaks the bank or has to be done ASAP. My suggestion on the seat is to ride it and see if you like it. If...

The bike looks great so far. Other than adding a correct part I wouldn't do much more. It's an awesome bike.

I would be interested in a chrome one.

@Mercian Thank you for the info. It's nice to know how these relate to the others. This is an awesome thread.. Have a good weekend. R

1941 Westfield Custom DeLuxe Motobike - Model F64TX. Serial # F93052 / BB Code: H4 (April 1941) Has a Comet badge. Wheels are not original to the bike. I have the original pedals but when riding I often take them off and use a new pair to save wear on the originals.

1936 Elgin Bluebird. Serial # A216574 / C10 (Oct 1936).

Thank you @Mercian for this list. I have 3 Westfield built pre-war bikes and I will post their info. First is a girl's 1936 Elgin. Serial # A249298 / BB Code: C11 (Nov 1936). The rear hub is Morrow but I don't see any other script stamped on it other than it's name. I think the chainring is...

I also have a women's Arrow that I purchased from @THEGOLDENGREEK back in January 2019. Serial #R670193.

I think I may have that same bike now. At least I have one very similar. I have it wrapped up until I can get it repainted. It's missing the guts for the light though. I used goof-off to try and see the serial number and the paint just wiped off. Took more off than I intended. Serial # C63835

Christmas time and vintage Stingrays still go together

It's a Black Phantom and cheeseburger kind of night.

I have a '95 as well and I love it. It rides great and looks great. I also have a 1950 Black Phantom that I love to ride. No matter the year they are great bikes. GLWS

Beautiful bike.

That is a gorgeous bike. GLWS.

Last night it was cheeseburger night at Sonic so i took my best girl with me but apparently she had already dined on some Tuna at home...

I never thought about the Superman angle but you are absolutely right. Maybe I should call it superbike

Headed out with a friend for a ride on 2 of my vintage Stingrays. Fortunately the weather cooperated and we were able to enjoy a beautiful ride.

Headed out for my weekly cheeseburger run to the local Sonic. Since yesterday was Memorial Day I decided to keep it red white and blue.

Took the Stingray DeLuxe out tonight for a cheeseburger. Well I had the cheeseburger and the Stingray just showed off his good looks.

Headed out for an afternoon ride on the Patina-Bird with friends from Slow Spokes. It was a beautiful day...

Expecting rain tomorrow so I took my weekly ride to Sonic a day early. After making a few adjustment I wanted to give the Patina-Bird a test ride. I may take it out for a much longer ride this weekend.

Haha. I guess I left myself open for that. LOL. The bike has 20 years on me but I hope I'm as good as it is when I get to 79.

Took the Custom Deluxe out to for my weekly Sonic Cheeseburger. 79 years old and still a pleasure to ride.

It's a beautiful bike. GLWTS

Thank you.

Thank you. Bugsy is a great ride and sweet to look at.

Took the Bugsy out for my weekly trek to Sonic for a ½ priced cheeseburger. I was hoping for a sunset but the clouds hid the sun.

Took the Phantom over to Dallas for a ride around White Rock Lake.

I was doing some reading on this and came across 2 articles that said Murray began building bikes for Elgin in 1938. One stated that they used existing Elgin designs before developing their own. It is probable that both Westfield and Murray were both both building bikes for Elgin from '38 until...

Yes, I would agree with that.

It looks like a Westfield built Elgin to me. From the Elgins I have seen the mid and late 30s bikes were Westfield built and about 1940 they switched to Murray. Of my own bikes my '36 Elgin is definitely Westfield built and my '40/'41 Elgin is all Murray. Someone with more more knowledge and...

Took my Black Phantom out for a fancy dinner at La Sonic.

That's a beauty @jchicago. I like the bike so I would be likely to spend to much for it. haha. A repainted one was up for sale for $200 a while back. Some original girl versions were in the $250 range which may be over priced. I would guess $300-400 might be fair but like I said if I like...

Hello and welcome back.

Haha. Totally missed the date. Oh well...

Beautiful bike Shawn. Glad to see your back.

Awesome bike. Wish I was closer to San Diego. GLWS

After getting the hand brake back together and working properly I took the ‘50 Black Phantom for a ride around the neighborhood. After 69 years it still rides great.

Haha... Thank you.

Day 2 in the wild. Went for a ride early this morning and it lasted way longer than I planned. I kept findingtrails to explore. My legs are officially jello now.
