I finally got some pics of the Flightliner that I picked up this summer for $120 and have polishing and collecting parts for since. Bike, bike, bike...
Pedals are Western Flyer NOS, I had the handlebars and goose-neck re-chromed, rims were from a guy I met here and re-spoked, candy glitter paint and decals were done through trial and error. Tail light came from a Spaceliner I bought off of eBay, not as it should be but it's period and works better than having nothing. The Spaceliner came with a perfect set of rims with original Allstate tires in very good condition so I will be getting these re-spoked as well so I can have a back up set of rims.
I still need a lens for the front but it's as close to being done as it'll get for now. Wanted to share the pics so we can keep these extra cool bikes in people's heads!
