VINTAGE 1935 SHELBY DELUXE "WESTERN FLYER" BICYCLE FRAME, FORK, HEAD BADGE, FENDER SET, & "N.O.S." TANK This is a barn find condition frame with a proper fitting "N.O.S." tank added. It's extremely hard to find a 1935 Shelby frame that fits the rare saddle style tank. This tank fits like a glove with no awkward daylight gaps. This frame set was 'loved',....there's rub marks, a couple holes, and surface rust. There have been repairs made to the frame just this last week. Please see last two pictures showing where a small patch has been brazed into the chai stay where the sprocket had warn a hole. Also another small hole brazed to fill a small 3/16" hole where a rack was mounted. The fork top tube still needs repair. The extra deep McCauley fenders with flat style braces are pretty decent but, one of the front ones is missing and the Western Auto Stores "WESTERN FLYER" head badge is pretty darn nice! The Rare Saddle Style tool / electrical storage tank is "N.O.S." with shelf-wear. The tank is equipped with a large side door with a secure latch, and a piano-wire style hinge. This bike set is being sold 'as is' with a very low starting price and there is NO RESERVE! The winning bidder pays . for shipping. Please feel free to contact us anytime with questions. Please be sure to research how very rare frames from this era are to come by in the DeLuxe model. Good luck and thanks very much for bidding.
