This is pretty cool... Last week I was driving to town when I decided to stop at a garage sale about 6 miles from my house.
I looked around for a few minutes at all the typical garage sale stuff like furniture, kids toys, etc. As I was leaving, I said to the lady that
all I really collect is old bikes. As I was leaving, she said that she did have an old bike in the barn. ( I have heard that before, and it
usually turns out to be some rusty, worthless ten speed). She then opens the barn door, moves a couple pieces of siding, and there it was...
A totally intact, original 1964 Men's Deluxe Spaceliner complete except for the tail light lens. She told me to make her an offer. I figured that I would start low
and work my way up to about $200.00. So, I said "how about $50.00?", Then she said OK!.
This bike will clean up great. I will of course restore it to show condition like my other bikes. The perfect mate for my restored ladies spaceliner. This bike even has the original Sears Heavy Duty Redline tires in perfect contition!
Anyway, Thanks for listening to my story................Wayne
