'67 Sears Spyder Coaster

[CRASH]

Original except for the front tire and chain.

Very Cool Score

 

[Rat Pilot]

Very nice!

After some clean up... I replaced the worn out BMX tire with a period appropriate replacement. In the original picture you can see both brake pads are on the right side. That's because the left side caliper arm had snapped. So I replaced that arm with a spare Excel Raceur I had.

Do you still have this Sears tiger bike?

That bike is so cool. It is begging for one of the tiger tails from Esso's, "Put a tiger in your tank" campaign.

I built a 26" riders version that has the tail.

Perfection! I remember seeing those on cars when the original Esso campaign ran.
