spaceliner build updates
It looks like it's time to start gathering parts, just picked up a JC Higgins Spaceliner frame. I've got to find some rims and springer forks. For now it's getting the forks from my Murray. I've got a crank and sprocket. Since it has no paint and doesn't look dinged up I might just clear coat the frame. What is the bracket about center way on the down tube for?

Re: spaceliner build (new pictures)
My Spaceliner frame came today. I started test fitting my parts tonight. I was given a heavy duty Emory bike today I got the pedals, rear rim, handlebars, stem, off the Emory. I need to get my tires I'm using a blackwall Nirve 2.125 and I've got to decide on the front tire. If I don't like the look I'm going to replace the front rim with a 26". The 27" was free so I'll give it a try. Hopefully I can buy tires this weekend.
My intent is to make it look like a drag bike.   My bikes

The tire is a Hutchinson Lowrider 26x2.35 I bought it at Walmart $27.00 I wanted a NIrve flame thread, but the Hutchinson Lowrider fits my drag bike theme perfectly.

Picked up a front tire and tube today. It's a Bell Kevlar touring tire the tread looks vintage instead of the slick 27" ten speed tires. Picked it up on clearance for $9.00 at Dicks
Still got to get the chain length and head bearings and races sorted out. Hopefully I'll take her for a ride this week. My worn out Brooks seat should come tomorrow. Kenny     My two toys My bikes

Back tire is a 26 x 2.35
It's all a Spaceliner can handle without modifications. Kenny My bikes
