YA! it's got all the parts still on it and minimal rust, I was feelin like i was cheatin the poor illegal alien who had it.

She wanted a baby blue Schwinn starlet, but shes just shy of 5 foot and the girls fender bikes are hard to find in one piece at a decent price for some reason...... :roll:

so I'm gonna spray it blue and screw on a Chicago head badge while i got it apart cleaning it.. :mrgreen:

Interesting, it looks all Spirit of '76, but it has the same frame as the 60s Spaceliner! -Adam

well I have no idea of the year..
It was badged as a Ted Williams Free Spirit with no model designation. A lot of Japanese parts but It does have a Shimano 3sc and Wald front hub so I'm guessing early 70's?

it will be baby blue in about an hour :lol:

Spent last night putting it back together... The naval jelly took ALL the rust off and the old chrome is AMAZING! :shock: Barkeepers friend did wonders for that white parts as well.. I love working on bikes that aren't for me, they go so smoothly... I'm such a tool, If it's mine I gotta mess with everything =p

Course I forgot about the stupid EA3 rims so I'll have to wait for tires in the mail since I don't have any that size, but thats all thats left I think...

Use the Bar Keeper's friend on the chrome next time, you'll be amazed! -Adam

nice bike man, just 1 thing, was your description of the fellow who you purchased it really necessary? remember theres people from around the world on this site, so to them, you are a foreigner also...you say you felt like you were cheating the guy,but you still have the nerve to put his migratory status on blast. b nice : ) (just my 2 cent)

P.S. NICE BIKE! : )

Don.t get me wrong man... my wife and half my friends are Mexican.... I was just trying to emphasize the language barrier in as few words as possible.

If I offended anyone I apologize fully! that was not my intent :?

They used Ted Williams in the 70's, I wouldnt doubt if it was a 76. I've never seen that frame used in the 70's before
