The story about the 11 bowden spacelanders is true. I am in the process of restoring the first three. Here are the pictures. Will post more as I progress in the restorations.

wow! awesome!

the details on these are very interesting.

keep us updated...
 
Somebody should make a "2010' version of the spacelander- in CARBON FIBER!
how cool would THAT be???

Someday, i WILL own a spacelander. I have made this vow to myself.
 
always a day late and a dollar short. :)

for those of us that missed the story, how bout a link or re cap? i'm very interested to hear how this all came about.

thx
 
Nice Find, Looks like you need a little more room to work, Bring them over my place, I would be more than happy to store and admire them for you. You are 1 lucky guy, Good luck and keep posting pics, Rick
 
Wow! Very cool. Remember, they are only original once. Some bikes need to be restored, where others should be left alone. :mrgreen:

I'm with you, I would just hate to see these rechromed and repainted. That would ruin these beautiful pieces of art. Would you like to see someone repaint the mona lisa over the original? heck no. Clean them... carefully, and enjoy each and every chip, scratch, and flaw in the finish. Nice Find!!!
 
I am obsessed by a point concerning the Spacelander

What does the frame look like???


Could you post photos of the hiden parts?

(Don't tell me there's nothing in the fiberglass body)

The mid 80's version made by David Sherrell looked like that.
