kinda new to spaceliners- why did you buy something like this? I not trying to be a smartass, just wondering. Seems there are plenty of mostly complete bikes out there compared to much older stuff. (The only bike in my livingroom is a Schreckengost Spaceliner)
Thanks
It was $25
 
Very cool bikes. I had two of these one that i bought and one i built up from parts that i had and just recently sold. I can find another soon. Enjoy. Razin.
 
I'm like a lot of others on this thread. Trying to identify a bike I picked up. It was in a batch of three bikes and I had to buy all three to get the one I wanted. Got them home and this bike started intriguing me. I found this thread and tried to match some numbers but couldn't. I then got to thinking that perhaps it's not a spaceliner - nothing on the chain guard - but lots of other similarities. I read every post in the thread but I've yet to identify it. So, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll let the pictures speak rather than try to verbalize what i have. What I recognize right away is that this bike has no horn, nor does it have the decorative cover for the crank on the chain ring.

It's an early 60's (61-63ish?) ladies Flightliner., model 4617. The tires look original, so check the stamped tire code for the year and quarter of manufacture (I explain how in the first post of this thread, in the section titled "The Bikes").

I would intend to agree. Early 60's flight liners are getting harder to find in this condition. I really like the reflector on the rear fender too. What are the two clamps on the chain stays for? i have never seen these on either of my Spaceliner bikes? Enjoy the ride. Razin.
 
If you could tell me what the two clamps are, then at least two of us would know. Anyone know where I can find a proper seat and the reflector/ light (?) for the rear rack? Who is familiar with the Komet coaster brake?
