Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I got this bike recently, saw it and really liked it, had no idea on what it was or the age, just knew I wanted it.
Traded 3 bikes for it, 2 modern and a 49' CWC built Western Flyer girl's 24".
Anyway, through Mr. Columbia's help, I found out that it is a 1929 Westfield Boy's juvenile model GJ-1
It has layers and layers, upon layers of paint, the wooden wheels were roached when the guy that I got it from got it, the current 700's work well, it has the original Morrow hub laced in the rear.
I rebuilt the headset, bb and rear hub, it rides like a dream. I am pretty sure I will do a resto-mod to it, go back to the original Carmine Red/White scheme on it, or the berkshire blue, I like the red better.
The saddle was redone by the guy who had it, at first I kind of hated it, but I think it needs to stay the way it is, part of it's story.
Anyway, it is a keeper. I have a drop stand coming for it, and the ears also.
Just a thought, the juveniles of the 20's were pretty tall, this bike has a stand over of 32"
