Working on a 65 year old Western flyer bike.

Sixty five years ago Steve had his bike stolen from him on his birthday before he could ride it. Sixty five years later he is going to ride the bike that was stolen from him for the first time. The bike was left outside for the past twenty years or so and we are going to make it rideable.

Im a western flyer collector. Think i have 6 of them from 1938 to 1956. EhT you did yo preserve the history of yhe bike is awesome.

[@sparkplug5481]

Couldn’t that front fork be straightened in a press? Seams like a easy job

[@alloutbikes]

With a specific jig you can but that not many places have anything like that.👍

I have about 60 bikes, mostly old ballooners from the 30s and 40s. I always wonder the story on why they parked it and nobody ever rode them again until they ran into me. I can turn old rusty piles of junk into very nice riders, I can even recover the saddles with way gooder padding and curbside couch leather for the worn look. I would definitely do this for an elderly person in my area for free, even if it's not a super cool or rare one.

[@Wooley689]

Very cool. Wouldn't be ironic if the store across the street is where it sold from all those years ago.

[@caseygunn9627]

Wow what a story, glad you got it good for him.

[@alloutbikes]

Thank you.👍

[@R_Kyllonen]

Sad story , but love these old bike videos. Nice of you to do this. Props

[@alloutbikes]

It didn't feel right to charge him for a birthday present he never had a chance to ride. Also the bike was to small and an absolute wreck.

[@painterboy454]

He's got to be able to forgive his family members for the trauma caused and receive healing.

[@alloutbikes]

He is a very forgiving guy. I have never heard him cuss or say anything bad about anybody. I think (hope) he's good.

[@peterkoenen2799]

Thank you 🙏 🎉 Such a good bike and a better story. Aloha

[@alloutbikes]

Glad you liked it.👍

From Baltimore Maryland Thumbs up

[@alloutbikes]

Thanks Bill from Baltimore.👍

[@jamessimpson5452]

Damn "Steve" is old! Hopefully I'll be able to ride my bikes at 74 years old.

[@alloutbikes]

Same here.

[@alloutbikes]

I would love to visit Maine. Never been there. Thanks from North Carolina.👍

[@mikesbarn1858]

That looks a lot like my 1965 huffy. 45 pounds.

[@alloutbikes]

Yes. It is Very Heavy!!!

[@thelazyfishkeeper2730]

this video was a long time coming. i had hope you might of giving it a quick paint job. any way steve aka the phantom lol was happy so see you next time. stay well

[@alloutbikes]

If the bike was bigger I might have painted it. But Steve told me his plans for the bike and that it involved him riding it for the first time and then to put it into the basement. I already had about $300 in time and parts. I also didn't want to put more work into the bike if he wasn't going to do anything more with it. I did want to do more with it. Thanks.👍

[@kimoarmstrong3519]

A happy ending. Must watch to the end!

[@alloutbikes]

Thank you.👍

[@mrshaneyt43]

That’s a nice thing you did 👍

[@alloutbikes]

Thank you.🖖

[@Vitusvonatzinger]

How you resisted crowd-sourcing a total restoration is astounding.

[@alloutbikes]

He is in poor health. I didn't want to take a chance on not delivering due to time.

[@ERKNEES2]

Clear coat only lol

[@alloutbikes]

That would be best.👍

[@briansharp7872]

Awesome job

[@alloutbikes]

Thanks!

[@ERKNEES2]

dope bike!

[@alloutbikes]

It was interesting.

[@darrellkelly7614]

You know your way around a bike for sure.

[@alloutbikes]

After 29 years I am still learning things. New bikes are always evolving. Electronic shifting, hydraulic brakes, suspension and lots of other things. It never gets old.

[@Hambonebodi]

❤❤❤

[@alloutbikes]

Thanks.👍

[@johnmurray3005]

You’ve put a positive ending to a sad story. Awesome! Thanks for the videos

[@alloutbikes]

Thank you.👍

[@davolbc]

You're the man! That was very kind of you to fix up that bike. You did a lot to get it right a ball again and you did it pro bono. Whoever does your intros and the special effects should get five stars. I am very entertained by not only the videos but to see what they did new at the intro of the video. Outstanding graphics. You need to tell your brother to get one of those Wireless microphones that you use it works great!

[@alloutbikes]

Thank you. My brother just got one of those wireless microphones.
