What is this middleweight exactly. I've owned a few spaceliners. This bike is mixed up with a few Schwinn parts. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm new to your page. I've collected and sold many bikes on ebay and at trade shows. I've owned a few mint spaceliners. I can't figure this bike out. It has some Schwinn parts mixed in. Just curious what the frame is. It will be for sale.

I recently bought this at a yard sale. I really thought it was a spaceliner. I got it home scoured the surface rust off and realized that it has a 24" Schwinn s7 rear wheel. I knew the front was a 24 and not right. Before I build a low rider out of her I would try to sell the stripped frame if a reasonable offer is made. I will ship for cost plus boxing. Ups. Really curious what this middle weight is. Ready to part out or build a low rider either way.

I do have the rear rack it needs repair.

The bike is a 26" with 24" wheels. The rear wheel is a schwinn s7 with a west wind white wall.

I don't know what it is, but you'll have better luck if you post your pic and question as a new topic in the middle weight thread, where it will be seen by more people.

I picked this Spaceliner up a few years ago in Denver and brought it with me to Tucson. I am always meaning to get around to restoring it.

I have the chainguard but it's pretty dented up, and I never seem to find them up for sale. Maybe a body shop with some paintless dent repair could restore it. I do not intend to paint it. The patina is fine. The Allstate tires hold air, but look pretty dry rotted. The model number shows it to be a 1966-68 Deluxe women's 26 inch. The tank is missing as is the rear rack and reflectors. It's supposed to be single speed, but the hub looks to be 2 speed. Here are some pics.

I know, the Bambi bell is not original, but it's classic 60s.

Is there a good source for any of the missing parts? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Tom

Try this product from John Deere. I use it on old tires, and it will actually heal the oxidized rubber to a certain extent.

Judging from the pic, it has the correct single speed hub.

Parts come up periodically on eBay. Create some automated searches for the parts you're looking for, and when they get posted on eBay you will get an automatic notification.

I don't recall if it's the same as a Flightliner, but there are a few guards on Ebay and a couple racks.
