Sears Spaceliner
i have just purchased a vintage boys 26" sears spaceliner. it is red
with a white gas tank and chrome fenders. it was in bad rusty condition when i got it b/c it had been sitting out for years. i have already spent $72.00 on it and im about to spend more.. this bike is really starting to look good.. i polised the fenders and the wheels and every piece of chrome on it with chome polish with rust remover and all of the rust came out.. it looks wonderful especially after i put brand new white walls on it. it has a generator on it and someone tried to hook the light on the gas tank up to it and it didnt work so im going to put new lights on it for the generator.. the bike really looks good.. now i have to replace one of the ball bearings in the rear axle and then it will be complete... could someone tell me if all of the work i put into this was really worth it? what is a sears spaceliner worth that is in good shape? |

To retard re-rusting, I suggest that you rub in a good coat of wax. This will make the chrome shed water, and will plug the pin holes. (clip) could someone tell me if all of the work i put into this was really worth it (clip) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I don't know about dollar value, but it sure sounds like it was worth it in satisfaction. |

I can't tell you if it has any value or not. But if you are getting a lot of fun and enjoyment and are happy with it, then yes you got a great deal. Besides it does look pretty neat too. |
