Sears spyder tiger edition????

[Hitman44]

i am pretty excited about this bike, I just hope the seat is vintage -- it looks like it is. What do you guys ?

Great bike! How many muscle bikes have you picked up recently?

But I've never seen a Tiger version, and I've seen tons of them. But that's a great seat by itself, with a sprung undercarriage.

Look at the closeup of the underside. On the seat post is a mark where another seat was bolted on, probably the original that wore out.

So you think this is original?

Not original to the bike, it's probably a replacement seat.

But it is a vintage seat. It's in great shape. I would take it off, clean it, and offer it for sale to someone who is looking for a real tiger seat. $$

Your bike should have a purple banana seat on it.

Wildcat is right on the money, that seat is a Troxel made tiger seat, vintage, but not original to that bike.

I would do the same, take it off that bike and add it to a Copper Sears Spyder, they were used on that bike.

Or sell it, it will bring some nice cash I bet.

Nice find!

From the 66 catalog:

The 5 speed Spyder you have looks to be in good shape.

Thanks guys -- I am pretty excited. I think it is the same as my other one -- I will put up a pick and see what you think.

Here are two pics on the one u am working on in the basement. I suppose it is exactly the same?

That seat (and the rest of the bike) is awesome.
