Found a nice little Sears Spyder 5 speed

[thanson]

Just figured I'd show everyone my new purchase. It's a Sears spider five speed, very original. Has a layer of dust on it from sitting in storage for so long. I'm just going to try find some nos tires and keep it as is. I believe it's a 69, can anyone help me pinpoint the year?

Nice Score on the Spyder. You don't see to many gold Spyder like this. Mostly blue and purple. Looks like a 1970 bike in the catalog.

Thank you, cool those were made from 1968 to 1970 correct? With that frame style?

I checked that page out but unfortunatley murray numbered the bikes sold to Sears differently.

If anyone has any NOS tires for it let me know, thanks

Not sure on the years they were made. You should be able to find some tires on Ebay for it. They used a knobby on the rear for some of them. Front tire should be fairly easy to find.

Anyoneone know what brand/size tires that wouldve come on this bike new? Would like to find a set, clean the bike up and just ride as is
