1967 Western Flyer

[Oilit]

im not implying anything, id like to see pics, but its a fb link, and several of us are banned from fb for sharing the truth about 'vaccines', nothing to imply

According to the news, FB has changed the rules so now you can post any "truth" you want. It doesn't matter to me, I don't go to FB for medical advice. But here's the bike, like @Bike from the Dead said, this one looks like it was built by Ross. Same frame style but a different builder.

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 got some better pictures of the head badge. It fits so close to the head stock that it looks glued on, which is why I first thought it might be a sticker. But on closer inspection, it looks like a metal badge.

Looking at these pictures, I notice that the rims on that Ross look exactly like the ones on the Roadmaster. Up until 1963 AMF made their own rims with a distinctive profile, but then they went to a simpler form. I assumed they were still making them but now I'm wondering if they started buying rims instead. I don't remember seeing any marks on these, but there weren't any marks on the earlier rims either.

For some reason it seems to me that they might have bought wheels/ rims from Murray as they made their own, and might have sold to other bike makers.

I've got a marked set of Murray rims somewhere. I'll have to dig them out and compare.

i dont like how you dont like that. your thoughts dont have to be my thoughts, and my thoughts dont have to be your thoughts.. its called freedom.. nonetheless, if you 'vaccines' work so well, you shouldn't be worried about those who have had allergic reactions and almost died. thanks for your lack of compassion. noted.

The word vaccines doesn't belong in a discussion about bikes. "Thoughts" about bikes does.
Perhaps if you shared only bicycle stuff on a bicycle forum and just let us imagine the rest.
Freedom of speech also includes freedom of consequences for that speech.
Share more bike stuff, less personal political view or hints therof crosses my mind as to what the subtext here is.
No foul. On to the next.

Steyr and Hercules also made double twin-bar canti frames. Not American of course but both sold here in the US.
I've had both and have posted them here but both have been sold.
Quite unusual and very cool.

I was looking through this old thread on Rat Rod Bikes and found another of these bikes. It shows a side view so you really can't see the twin bars but you can see enough to tell it's the same frame. The poster ("fastmummy", post #14) evidently repainted the bike but he says he thinks it was another Western Flyer.
