60s SEARS MUSCLE BIKE

[Rat Rod]

Lunchtime pickup today while at work. This was listed a few times in the past several months along with two middle weight bikes as a group deal. Bad pictures never allowed me to see many details. Decided to take a chance when the ad popped up again and ask if he'd cut this one loose.

Apparently the original owner is moving to Florida and was cleaning out his deceased parent's place before he moved. I made him and offer and he took it so it came back to the office with me. The middle weight bikes were in pretty rough shape so I passed on them.

Just needs pedals, a chainguard and a good cleaning.

From the 1966 Sears Christmas catalog...

AWW so you are the one that beat me to it. I also sent him a message if he would let that one go and he agreed. I was supposed to pick it up yesterday after work. But he told me it has been sold. Oh well at least it is in good hands.

My search continues to find my nephew a good muscle bike.

[Gold Street Customs]

The funny thing is that he's been trying to sell this same three bikes for the past six months now. I kept seeing the ad pop up time and time again and I kept blowing it off. He finally started dropping the price down so that's why I thought I would shoot an email and ask.

I've got a 66 Sting-Ray you might be interested in. It's blue and is a rider so it would be priced decently. Here's a shot of me riding a wheelie on it last week. I can send you better pics if you're interested.

Nice score! I've got an all chrome chain guard off a Spyder (but the graphics were cleaned off). It's got a little rust issue, but it would be good until you find something better.

Man,,,,Nice! I believe the seat is from a "Toni-The -Tiger" bike, special edition. I have one very similar and photos somewhere of it on a rusted original frame.

Started cleaning the bike up....so far it's shaping up nicely. Love the rake on the forks.

I just sold a correct guard that color on ebay.

No, actually all coppertone '67 and '68 Sears Spyders came with that seat. There may have been a Tony the Tiger special addition bike that also used it, but that's the standard seat that came on it. I've bought 3 Spyders with that seat and have seen at least a dozen more.

 

[RailRider]

The seats really rock on this color too!
