Is it worth it?

[outskirtscustoms]

A friend of mine has a spaceliner Boy's model that I been eyeballing. Was originally chrome but has been painted over yellow. No tank, non springer. basically just a frame, fork, crank, Might get a set of non-original wheels and handlebars & stem thrown in but he wants $25. Just wondering what you guys think. Probably going to get it tomorrow.

I agree. Those frames are striking. You can build it from there.

That's a deal right there! :mrgreen: The original chrome could be nice under there, ya never know :wink:

So worth it! :mrgreen: These bikes are so fun to build all you need is the frame to start. Here's some inspiration:

Very Nice Frame Set

Well I went to see him today and wished him a happy new year. I mention the frame and he said he still had it and asked what I was offering. I reminded him he said $25 last time and told him I wasn't even going to haggle on it (butter him up for future deals). We went out to the garage and got it out and I asked about a set of triple tree forks he had on the workbench and he said $5. SOLD. Got the Space-liner as seen in the picture and a triple tree 26" fork with suspension for $30! Now to start building. :mrgreen:

Nice deal. Spaceliners rock!

Yeah I thought so too. A spaceliner has been on my "Bikes to get" list since I first saw one. I figured it was a perfect way to start out the new year. Now if I can top it and find a cycletruck, autocycle, bluebird, or spacelander before the year is out I'll be ecstatic.
