    Spaceliner Seat Post

    Thanks, guys! I had run to my LBS (which unfortunately is really a Trek dealer where you get "service" if you are buying a new Trek) and the young guy supposedly took my post to the back to measure it for me. Even though he never smiled or looked vaguely interested, I trusted he had measured it...

    Spaceliner Seat Post

    Ok, so am I correct that the seatpost on my Spaceliner is 3/4"? If so, what is a modern replacement? I would maybe like a set back seatpost but none of the seatposts, all in mm, seem to be equivalent. Any help? Ideas? The top of the current post is very narrow and needs a very small clamp, and...

    Spaceliner Tire Questions

    I am stuck with keeping the fenders, at least the rear fender for now. The screws holding the rear fender on are rusted with little to no slot to actually use a screwdriver to remove. I tried to use a back-out bit but it won't bite and I broke off two metal cutting drill bits trying to drill...

    Spaceliner Tire Questions

    Hey guys, if I am using the original wheels on my Spaceliner, 26 x 1.75, what are my best options on tires and is there anything I need to be aware of when choosing a tire? I was thinking about getting red tires possibly. What about the Duro BMX tires? Do they ride terrible? Or is their...

    76 huffy thunder star

    I'm just going to say, these Huffy's don't always earn respect but that bike has style. My first bike was a small, purple 2 wheeler from Western Auto and then for Christmas one year there was one of these Huffy Thunder Star "76" bikes by the tree in the den. Let me tell you that I was Evel...

    show your Spaceliners!!

    I just entered the Space Race. Woohoo! Somebody sprayed the handlebars, stem, and the rack a grey/silver color that I will probably have to address fairly soon. Looks to have the remnants of red paint on the front forks. Saddle cover is mostly black tape. But it does have a Sears AllState...

    Questions from newbie...wheels and tank?

    Where do most of you find newer style wheels for klunker builds? Do you look for inexpensive bikes on CL and yardsales to swap parts from? Most of what I can find are huffy and roadmaster and I really am trying to stay away from them since they are already rusty while sitting on wallyworld's...

    Hello from NW Miss/SW Tenn

    Just wanted to give you guys all a shout out. You help eat up the rare downtime at work when I would rather be elsewhere playing. Not a rat builder per se as of yet, but getting closer. Mostly have been into British 3 spds but my son fell in love with an old Schwinn Corvette and I picked up...

    Man i dig the spaceliners and their various cousins. That 5 bar frame really gets to me. I have been looking for some time, hoping the right one will fall out of the sky. Thought I might have found one outside of Nashville, a Murray Solar Flite, but dude won't answer calls or texts so i...
