New guy here. This is my first vintage bike. I know nothing about bikes except basic mechanics so bare with me. I do restore old motorcycles so I got an idea of how to do things. Heck. I'm older than this bike,,,lol.
So I just got this Sears Spaceliner for $50. Don't know if I did good or not. Through messaging the guy said it had not been painted on. Half way there he calls and says the handle bars have been painted. No biggie I thought. I get there and see the whole thing has been painted. But it don't look horrible and I thought it was worth the $50. Maybe not. Is it?
My plan I THINK is to clean it up and ride it. I don't think it is anything special is it? It does seam to be complete, but it think that's not the original seat. It needs a new seat. Should it be black or white.
I guess I just need help figuring out the model right now. From what I've read no real date codes. But there might be tell tale signs. It has Kendra tires on it that are shot.
Is it a 24'' or 26''. I need to raise the seat for sure.
So any info would be appreciated. Thanks
