JC Penney's Foremost Spaceliner

[Ratfink1962]

I was looking for a bike so the Wife could come along on rides, and aka_locojoe (Randy) hooked me up with this one. Thanks again!!

I didnt take any build pics, because this was more of a restore instead of a custom, I stripped it down to bare metal, primed with a automotive epoxy primer, wetsanded and painted it with two stage auto paint, I think It came out pretty good....

this is what it looked like before...

What handlebars are those?

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Randy.. those are Nirve Cruiser Kandy bars, got em here... http://www.nirve.com/accessories.asp?cid=3003

Wasnt sure if they would "fit" with the bike, but I think they look good.

I have those bars in black but didn't like them. I think they look great on here. I think I've since bent them up trying to use them on my gravity racer.

Thanks! Now If I can just get the wife to actually ride it...

If it ever warms up a bit, I do plan on getting some outside pics, the sunlight really wakes up the orange color. In artificial light it looks pretty "copperish" but outside... BAM the orange comes to life!! lol
