1960's sears fleetwood chrome

[LowAndStretched]

tore this baby completely apart and took Ms. 0000 on a date for about 10 hours of elbow grease...

english 3 speed wannabe made by Sears in the 60's - sturmey archer 3 speed still works perfect - rides nice. makes you feel like a gentleman riding it, the way the posture is set up....

the original fenders were so rusted they de-plated - new ones on the way though...

Lookin' good, gotta love 4 aught steel wool...
So, who actually made this frame?
Built for Sears, but I wonder by who....
I had a couple of different Sears bikes when I was a kid (mid 70's)
Always liked em'.

That is beautiful, I have an early sixties frame just like that but black, just did a really cool classic style build with it. I love that chrome, if for some reason you ever want to part with that frame set, keep me in mind.
