You guys think this is a good deal? Or is he asking to much? He says the paint has been striped.

Alot of Spaceliners were chrome so was it really stripped or is it chrome? Either way in this neck of the woods I would say thats a deal especially if its chrome. I would still try to get it for like 75$ :mrgreen:
I agree with Highship, try for $75.
Yeah, hard to tell about the chrome from the picture.
If the chrome looks odd, like peeling, with a better finish underneath, it may be the factory clear coat coming off. Someone used aircraft remover to make it look awesome.

A lot of Spaceliners on the build-off for reference too.
Check for bent cranks, bent wheels and none original parts to talk them down.
If it's a Bendix 2 speed hub, it's more desirable but if it doesn't work well, they seem trickier (more $$$) than other hubs to rebuild.
Just my $.02
Good Luck
