A thing of beauty indeed.
I have a '64 ladies Western Flyer out back that had been pretty neglected and I was going to part it out. But upon further reflection, I'm going to bring it up to snuff mechanically and use it as an extra "camping" bike. Unlike your bike, it has solid colored fenders and a Raleigh type chain guard. I'll post a pic or two and refer back to your post when I do so. Gotta get her reasonably presentable first!
