Hows it going everyone... glad to have found this place. CMan over on bikeforums sent me the link.

I'm new to the whole vintage and ratbike scene... have lots of bikes but just recently started playing with my welder and found some old beaters to build a tallbike with. In the process, I picked up a Sears Spaceliner frame (many thanks to cman for the ident) that someone had spray painted and it was too cool to cut up for the tallbike, so I set it aside. When I was done, I had enough parts to build it up as me neighborhood beater. It had such a great pantina, I figured I would just leave the frame alone. Wheelset is off a raleigh sport with a sturmey-archer AW 3-speed.

I'm amazed at the bikes on this site... I mean WOW.

Welcome.
Nice job on this bike.
So is the tallbike finished? Photos?

Thanks for the warm welcome! Tallbike is done, tho it still needs paint... it's a blast to ride (yes, I do look like a dork, but I'm ok with it :shock: )
