Single-speed with a \u003cstrong\u003eKomet Super coaster brake\u003c\/strong\u003e, it's about 60 inches long overall and weighs roughly 30 pounds. Western Flyer bikes were the go-to affordable ride for families back then, outselling pricier brands at stores nationwide, and this hybrid cruiser's unique tank makes it a standout for collectors. No box, manuals or extras included, just the bike as pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eAs a vintage used piece, \u003cstrong\u003ethis Western Flyer bike is in good condition for its age and use\u003c\/strong\u003e with inflated tires and a smooth-rolling drivetrain. There is minor rust and dents on chrome, fenders and other metal surfaces, small paint chips on the frame and various parts, and faded decals on the tank and chain guard—all visible in the photos. The nameplate on the head tube is loose at the top rivet and much of the paint is scrapped off the label. The decal underneath is also difficult to read. There is some grease and grime in various places but overall the bike is clean. Some sewing on the seat is coming loose in a few places, but it’s still mostly intact. \u003cstrong\u003eThe FENIX tires appear to be in good condition\u003c\/strong\u003e with plenty of tread and are 20 x 1.75. The bike rolls nicely, but has not been ridden since acquiring (I weight 220 lbs so best not to hurt myself or the bike!). I don’t expect there are any issues. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSee photos for exact condition and what is included.
