Here is my first "build" post... I hope it all works! It all started when I went to pick up a 64/5 Spaceliner I found on Craigslist and the guy offered me this


The seat tube was bent and the welds broken. I decided to cut it low and replace it with a new post, but first it needed a little character...



Then I put a couple tack welds on the cross brace between the top tunes and down by the bottom bracket...
 
More parts...

S/A Sportshift connected to S/A internal three speed coaster hub


And finally finished...

Paul Components Crank and Shadow Conspiracy half link chain (yeah... Needed two of those...)


1" quill to 1 1/8" thread less stem with Bonty stem, low rise bars, and Rythm lock-on grips...


Classic Brooks B72 and fat-... rubber!
 
I totally missed this build earlier this year.
I love what you did with the seat tube!!!!
Great looking bike.
By the way, it's actually a Flightliner frame and not a Spaceliner. It's equally cool, just different.
 
Even better!
FREE IS GOOD!!!!
It helps if I read better. :happy:
Love the build!!!
