Lets see your Chromed Spaceliner style bike

[Rivnut]

I have a rat-trap springer that would fit perfectly.

One reason that I’m considering selling this bike is because I have both a girls (all chrome) and boys bike with the front springer forks. The boys bike is a 59 for which I’m needing a tank.

Cool. It's just a thought.

Here are several photos of a ‘64 Spaceliner I am finishing up. Did an oxalic acid dip on the frameset (It was terribly discolored.), and after removing all the clear coat, lots of buff work with a wheel and White Diamond polish. The tank and rack were powdercoated with Illusion Red and the chain guard and fork socks sprayed with translucent metallic red. All bearings were repacked, and although I have the original horn/light bezel, the innards were missing, so I fitted repros. The taillight works well, but I need to fiddle with the horn and light switches. The bike rides extremely well. I always wanted one, and thought that if the Jetsons rode bikes, this is what they would ride!

@Trilobite , Your work looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing your photo's . and- YES if the Jetsons rode bicycles .......this would be the one ! I also ride mine occasionally . It never fails to get comments You might try @shawnatvintagespokes for the headlight parts. They helped me with my horn and light set up. Ride safe !

Beautiful! Ditto on your work, and thanks. Those red grips are a nice bit of “pop,” and the speedo is a nice bit of bling!

Forgot to add this one in this thread: Been casually looking for a girls forward thrust to go with my boys. Picked this one up about 6 weeks ago. I’ve been lucky to find really nice examples of Spaceliners. I don’t think this one ever had a nut or screw removed. Original tires (dated 4th quarter of 65) and tubes. Battery box like new. Cleaned contacts and light turned on!. This is the base model but great condition and my matching boys is also a base model. Naively I think I am done with the space fleet unless a 24” shows up.

Another one!
