17 year old daughters 69 Spyderliner

[Xcruiser]

Ive been tinkering with this for my 17 yr old daughter for a bit.I dont have a step by step build on this one like usual.
Im a big fan of Spaceliners so when I came across a Sears Spyder 24" frame I jumped on it for her build.
Its about done ,here are some quick pics.
She wanted yellow!
crusty 24" galaxy flyer guard.before cleanup

looked pretty good prior to polishing

gotta have smiley face caps!

cleaned and painted BB assembly.

same for the headset.

mixed some light yellow just for her

prior to guard install

almost done,she wants a caliper brake but i am hoping to talk her out of it.

I like the bumblebee grips. Nice work!
And that gearing looks like a heckuva hill-climber! Girls prefer practicality.. us guys just like to go fast :roll:

Nice!! :shock: That came out awesome, great job!!

I brought it out of the basement to show her ,she really liked it BUT..
she says "Dad I wanted a Schwinn and i want it the colors of the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine van!"

sigh...rrrrrrr.
Here we go again lol

just good ole cheapo dollar general SOS type pads(they arent as harsh),occasional brass brush.some polish and good to go.

 

[Vintagebikelover24]

Okay I'll keep that in mind cause that chrome came back nicely

What frustates me is that framestyle is wicked and I thought i got lucky to find one let alone a 24" for her little 5'1" frame.

 

[Vintagebikelover24]

Haha That is a really sick frame! Just make her ride it!!! She doesn't know what she's missing out on

That's really nice -- I like how light and airy the frame is, and the light yellow makes it look even lighter.
