Spaceliner/WalMart ??

[Houndog]

Would cranks,forks from one of these fit Spacliner frame....
Just picked up frame and would like to ride while I hunt down the stuff I really want..
I'm assuming the wheels would fit no problem.

The one I'm lookin at http://www.walmart.com/ip/Kent-La-Jolla ... e/17206784

The La Jalla has a 3 piece crank, might work with an adaptor.

check on the Huffy Cranbrook.

Putting a 3 piece crank into a Spaceliner was a pain for me
The frame is made rather cheaply by extending the frame tubes into the bottom bracket tube

A conversion can be done by grinding down the inside tubes to install the bolts for the adapter

The weight reduction was less than expected so I didn’t do the conversion on my wife's Spaceliner

Saying that, I like the look and feel of the 3 piece set and the ability to go to a 52 tooth gear easily
But now that I have several hundred miles of rough use, I need to go back into the setup to fix a creaking noise that occurs while cranking.

There may be an easier method that I don't know about
Good Luck

Well I bought a truss fork for it this morning , I'm starting to think it would be better to
just buy what i need bit by bit....

Truss fork would look cool on a spaceliner. Sounds like a good plan. Looking forward to a Build thread!

Just hold off on building it until the Build Off start date of May 1st.
That is if this is going to be your entry.

I have 2 bikes to decide which one to use for build offf...Just discovered my Spaceliner frame is bent pretty bad in the rear..
I'm still collecting parts I need and doing research,,,I'm not doing any building till May 1st....

Got my frame straight today, then after seeing a post in for sale section, it's a flightliner .....
I still like it though....
