Wore out three sets of tires already!
Outstanding! Congrats!! She is a pretty rideabout, you have the hardest items to find already, the seat you’d questioned is absolutely Racycle, that’s the script on the top, it would have been a factory or, dealer installed option over the standard rideabout seat as pictured in the catalog, look at the seat on the Pacemaker, that’s what you have! YOU HAVE THE HEADBADGE and model badge and they’re BOTH UNMOLESTED! (You’ll soon learn how rare that is!! The pedals are Stars, a find in themselves!! The rim can always be replaced, no big deal, be gentle cleaning her up, congrats on a great find, If there’s any help I can provide, please feel free to ask, also, my email is wcben@aol.... if it’s ok, I ‘d like to add your images to the Racycle Research folder I have on Flickr... there’s a ton of info there, take a look: https://flic.kr/s/aHskQvms5P

That's a good find and a great friend you have. That chainwheel is huge! How does it ride?

Like cr@p! The tires are petrified! I'll get it back on the road one of these days. Yup, I owe Jason BIG-TIME! Hoping I can return the favor someday.

Awesome score!
But these have always seemed like odd bikes to me. How is it possible to ride that gear ratio on anything but flat ground? And that wheelbase... I mean thats exactly what you don't want if you looking for a lively ride. That aside, I'd still have room for one if the opportunity came around.
And do you have some more pics of that yellow half track???

Thank you so much for the info! I'll do my best to bring it back ever so gently. Yes, of course you may use my pics. Let me know if you'd like me to retake them or forward pics of any specific areas.

When it comes to collectable and rare stuff,im always looking.when i find items that are not something im into,i always alert friends or family that are into it.its all about it getting into the hands of the proper caretaker.alot of people do the same for me so im always happy when a good connection is made.
