2 old schools

found local, he's asking 80 for both

boys: sears spyder and female: roddy? edit- from looking around it looks like a roddy seafarer


worth the investment? the ad's been up for a while and I think I can talk him down to less

Definitely a good deal....those rams horn style bars are kooky!

I'll most likely pick em up by the weekend.


my problem- I'm 6'6", I can't see myself ever riding a bike like these. That's why I have a thing for cruisers, I just figured it would be hard to pass up, even to hold onto

Well, I used to have a '69 Sears spyder:

It wasn't nearly as nice as the one you are looking at from what I can see. (Though the chrome and original tires were nearly perfect... the paint finish was actually pretty rough... ) I put this one on eBay and sold it for $125 plus shipping. I think you could do that with the purple boys' one and part the girls out some and do pretty well.

You can ride em ...you just need a 3'foot seat post.. :lol:

just picked em up. the spyder is beautiful. it hurts me to want to touch it to do any kind of modding. i'll prob keep it the way it is. he still had the original seat that matches the grips sparkle purple vibe. still has some of the streamers in them still. first thing he asked was if i was gonna rat it out or collect, then showed me some of his stuff. old school schwinns, west coast chopper bikes, etc etc. real chill guy. i'm going to need some new tires on the spyder, but besides that they're both is great condition

got em both for 75.


the ramshorn handlebars are a kick

Don't sweat your size. We got a guy up here who's 6'9" or 10" who rides his Sting Rays all the time. I personally don't do it and I'm only 6'5". But that is a style choice more that anything else.

congrats on your buy! get some better photos up!!

i'll get some pics up when i finish my current project so I can get motivated to take them all at once, preferably with a beachy background.
