does anyone know how old this huffy is ?
I know this is an old thread, but that's actually a 1977 Western Flyer Dirt Duster "muscle bike". It originally came with a straight banana type seat and a number plaque. The Murray frames were nearly identical to the Western Flyer except for they didn't have the stem/frame support where the fork and gooseneck meet, and the Western Flyer did. I had both. The banana seat messed up on mine and so I put a single seat on it instead. Broke the frame right at the support and had to repkace it with the Murray one without the support. Later on it got stolen, but I still have the original frame, I just have to sleeve and weld it...lol 12 years of bmx and jumping it kinda done it in.Ok..... this one might be a stretch.
It's BMX, it's Murray..... I've been on the BMX museum site & found nothing like it.
BMX has become part of bicycle heritage.... just hope somebody knows maybe when it was built.
Any help is appreciated.

I know that you know this thread was old, and you included some good information, but digging up the old threads isn't something we like to do here so I am going to go ahead and lock this thread. Most of these members haven't been here in years.I know this is an old thread, but that's actually a 1977 Western Flyer Dirt Duster "muscle bike".
