I have seen one of these once before. It is not a Murray Eliminator, however I believe the Atkins Cyclone was a clone (edit: or maybe made by Murray, not a clone, per a comment below) of the Murray Eliminator, and it came in a few variations. You have the 20 x 16 + 5 variant, which I think means it’s a 5 speed. I think the other 2 numbers are the wheel sizes? Not sure about that.

It’s a bunch of awesomeness.

If you’re asking then I’m afraid it’s in the wrong hands. This bike needs a careful cleaning and detailing. No new paint, no touch-up.

Don’t get low-balled and sell this to the first person who wants to buy it. Look up Murray Eliminator parts on ebay and see how much the pretzel bars, the shifter, shifter knobs, and chainguard have sold for. I sold a pretty similar one recently for almost $1k, you might be able to get more if you are willing and able to ship it.

Hose it off, toss a basket on it, use it as a beer runner.
Value of pissing off internet bike nerds: priceless.

Bike seems to be very rare I can’t find pics of another.
Its about 1969 Murray. Looks just like the Murray Eliminator.

Don’t show us the head badge whatever you do.
It’s a department store bicycle.
Looks like a Murray Eliminator. Do not paint it. Just clean it up and you should be able to get a couple hundred bucks for it. Nice find!
