Hoping to replace an old friend....

[Gussie]

Greetings, everyone!
When I was around 10 years old (approx 1972), I had a black AMF Aerobee. I LOVED my bike. Sadly, around 10 years ago, my brother and husband put it out for garbage one day when they were clearing out the garage where I kept it. By the time I realized what they had done, my bike was gone. They had no idea how much I still loved it. It sounds silly, probably, but I’ve never gotten over that loss.

I’d be extremely grateful for any advice regarding where to possibly find one for sale.

Thank you, in advance, for reading and considering my post.

Best regards,
Gussie

Just to make sure, this is what you're looking for? What condition are you looking for?

Omigosh—YES! In fact, I think that is my bike.... lol.
Because I have no bicycle restoration skills, I would like one in as good a condition as possible.
Thank you for posting this photo. Just looking at it makes me smile!!!

Crash, as you know, I’m trying to replace my long-lost Aerobee.
Musclebiker sent me some photos of Aerobees in need of restoration. Would you be willing/able to rebuild/restore an Aerobee for me?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Gussie
