RARE TITAN built Western Flyer BUILD!

[partsguy]

After a long and straining search, I have FOUND a pair of matching Western Flyer-badged thumb shifters! I'll be getting back on this build, I haven't done anything to it in a long time.

That's cool, I can't finish any of my projects since I don't have the money or know anyone close enough that could paint my Christine bike and a few of my other stuff I'm too poor to finish right now.

I forgot you were closely following this build. How have things been on the Christine bike?

I'm so glad to FINALLY find these shifters. I can finish this Western Flyer and starting working on my other one!

O man, you have me hooked cause and now that I think back on it its insane I love 80s mountain bike cause I grew up tearing a barn full of them apart to make a decent one. My brothers went through tons of mountain bikes. That splatterish paint is awesome. I've been scanning the free trash days for years ever since my dad threw out all the bikes:eek:. I wouldn't mind having a good rider like this hope the build goes well gonna keep an eye on this. Man I miss those paint jobs.

I have a near NOS mtn bike I'll be selling, if you're interested. 1992 Huffy, with textured paint. It still has the original water bottle, never used.

Still looking for options on what crank and chain ring to drop in this. The old crap was just that - old rusty crap.

I want an aluminum crank (will a 3 piece fit?), with an old school looking chain ring. I just don't know how to go about it. Any suggestions?

I'm also going to shift gears on this and go for a hybrid build. Maybe some 700cc wheels?

I dig old-school mountain bikes, my daily rider is a 1984 Stump-Jumper. Can't wait to see more of this build.

Thanks! I liked the paint jobs. My first bike was a 1988 Murray Spectra with a 5 speed. Metallic blue and black with neon green fork and bars.

So, there's two swap meets coming up next month. I'd like to find myself the wheels I want so I can get this 'ole boy on his feet again!
