Those Spyder frames are killer! One of my favorites to build on. Yours is looking good.

I've got a rider! I've got a lot of rattles to work out (chain guard and fenders) and I need to try to find another chain with 4 More links. I don't have enough chain to get in that bigger cog on the back. Mostly rides very well tho!

Happy Sunday!

A new chain with 2 More links arrived today and with some cursing (why do they call those things "quick links"??) I got it installed and BOOM!!

Wheelie gear!!

Bike looks awesome. Love how the fenders are nice and tight on the tires.

Thanks! The spyder is a well designed bike. I like it a lot. It's a keeper!

Its been done for over a week but I had to wait for a day off when it wasn't raining for pics!

To recap, this is before...

I wanted a comfortable rider that functions 100%.
I used all the original parts except: wheels and tires, rear sprocket, chain, sissy bar, handlebars, and chain guard. After a 5 mile ride to my photo location I wish I had re-worked the seat!

Here are my finished pics...in honor of Halloween...

Great save on a bike that easy would have been neglected and forgotten!!! Great resto

Bike turned out well! I like the mix of original and modified parts. Very rat-isfying!
