1967 Western Flyer

[Oilit]

I have several Roadmaster Skyrider bikes that maybe have this style of frame. Will.have to do some digging to find out.

Let me know if you find anything. I've been looking at FBM and everybody in the world made bikes for Western Auto at some point, except maybe Schwinn. I did find this (Murfreesboro TN), close but no cigar.

What was the model, hard to read the chain guard on this bike. Looks pretty good other wise.

I should have cropped those pictures, but that's what the seller used. It's a Galaxy Flyer the same as mine, except it's the standard AMF frame. Maybe a different year, but looks pretty close.

Oilit, that last bike you posted has a BMA/6 decal below the seat clamp, putting it the 1971-79 era. Your bike has a very similar chain guard graphic. I'm wondering if your bike has a metal head badge, or a decal? The changeover started mid-'60s generally.

I believe there was a recent discussion about this frame on ratrodbikeforum, I will look for it tonight after work.

Any luck finding that discussion yet?

At first glance it looks like a sticker, but it's got two rivets so it may be a metal badge, I'll have to go take a closer look. This is the best picture I have, sorry it's a little blurry.

Have you made any other posts about this bike? I can't find the thread I was reading about them on RRBF as everyone uses funny names for their posts and it is difficult to search. I'm wondering if I actually saw the post on this site.

This is the only post I've made on this bike, but I know what you mean about finding threads. It can drive you nuts sometimes.

Oilit, what's the asking price? This rig looks pretty clean. RideOn. Mark.
