I love those space frames, so many tubes, such nice curves. There are actually a few being built this year in the Build Off!

Have swapped reaer tire and bars. Found info on Astro Flight and believe this is not Spaceliner. Im trying chk serial #, any thoughts?
TIA

There should be a number on the rear dropouts, if it starts with a 502…it's a Sears bike, and a Spaceliner.

Think its a Murray Astro Flight?

I'm diggin' the rainbow nanner. Cool stuff. How does it ride with that mullet setup?

 

[cmc211461201]

Mullet set up?
Im newbie to this. Fun ride.

 

[Pondo]

Cool bikes! A mullet is when the front wheel is bigger than the rear wheel. I don't know if it works the same the other way around. Looking forward to seeing how your project goes!

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Yup, business in the front, party in the rear!

The smaller rear wheel will follow a tighter track due to decreased radius, it is said to cause snappier handling. Came from the mountain bike world, where they had the big 29" wheels to deal with.
