Western Flyer 3 speed 3 wheel tricycle - What year?
Hi, My name is Amy I live in Alaska near Anchorage. I bought this yesterday for $50. I think the original paint color was yellow and someone painted over with green and sparkly paint. Brakes don't work and I am not sure about the gears yet but the cable is in bad shape. I know the guy switched out the tires and they have a really big tread so the fenders don't fit on it anymore. It does peddle. It says 3 speed hub 333 on the handle and western flyer on the other.
Any idea what year it is?
I can take it to the local bike coop and they will show me how to fix the brake and gears (I hope). I am familiar with fixing bike brakes and gears just not sure how different a trike is. Anything I shoudn't do to it? I'm not going to paint it just want to make it rideable and safe. Anything that is not original on it? I was wondering about the seat.
Sorry I had to take a screen shot of the photos they were to big to upload.
Thank you,
Amy
