I just joined the forum, after running across my old Spyder mark VII, which was chrome. Were these bikes rare? I searched around the internet, and there is not a whole lot about them. Mine has some surface rust from sitting in my parents old shed, but should clean up fairly well, I hope. I really didn't ride mine much, as it always was difficult to pedal, almost like stuck in high gear. The shift cable is broken now, so going to get a replacement for it, and clean the bike up. Just kind of curious about these bikes, as you never see a lot of them.
