Re: 1986 CW Racing California Flyer
That really is a stunning set. I've always liked CW frames and I LOVE orange. I've never been a fan of "built in" frame or fork standers but that would be the only thing I wouldn't like about this set.
I brings da ruckus to the ladies.

Re: 1986 CW Racing California Flyer
The built in frame standers make this frame, without them the frame would look like any other frame! And the bikes actual name is a California Flyer! You should have tried to have a top tube sticker made going off the original one.

Re: 1986 CW Racing California Flyer
Well its an all original teal califonia flyer, except for the cranks. With a new powder coat this bike would be priceless. I am a CW fan all the way. This frame is strong and light as you know. make an offer?

Re: 1986 CW Racing California Flyer
One mere thing Hoff, you said you were a CW fan! So why are you selling them? You should have it redone and KEEP it, they aren't going to decrease in value anytime soon!

No harm intended Hoff, because I live for CW! That is all I collect, but the Flyer was CW's middle line freestyle bike in 86. I have a few of them, so 390 is too much for me. Like you said, have it powdered and put on Ebay! But make sure you specify that this is an American made CW! Although it was made in 86 and most people think ALL bikes that were made in 86 came from over seas, the 86 CW Flyer's (like this one) with the welded on pegs were still made here in 86! The other Flyer's (86 - up) with the screw on pegs were the overseas model!
Another example of that is my 86 pro motion, STILL AMERICAN MADE!!!!!!!!!!!
