Nice, that's the same frame that I am starting with, it's definitely Murray built, but it was not branded as one of the Sears SpaceLiners. I was probably branded as a Murray Meteor Flite, or FleetWing Mariner, or one of many other things. Still pretty much the same bike. Good luck!

For a fake springer/truss/rack thing. Not for sure what it was other than for looks. Mine

Nice! Thanks for the info, Joey! I figured it was a wesertn Flier or some other non-sears branded murray... It's the same frame as my first spaceliner-type bike... Kinda wish I hadn't sold that one... Oh well... Glad to have you on board!

Woo hoo got my forks today from Blink they are alot nicer than the rest of the frame. The chrome guy is just to proud of his work for me to afford that so the frame might just be painted to match the red on the bottom of the forks.
Thanks Blink Image

I got a chainring just like that one you could have for the cost of shipping if you wanted... I'm sure you've got others though. But if you need it let me know. Looks good so far. :D

Did you try cleaning the chrome on the frame yet? it doesnt look that bad. Get a brass brush and some wd40 and start scrubbing. I bet it will clean up nice
