Spaceliner: Wrong fenders?

[CRASH]

The front looks too small. Or is it bent? The rear doesn't look right either.

And isn't the rear rack an incorrect aftermarket? And those rims look too wide. So much incorrect with this bike. I like girls Spaceliners, but... what would be a fair price?

Rear rack is aftermarket. I'm pretty sure the rear fender is correct. Mine didn't have a rat trap springer, so not sure about the front fender, but the braces look correct. Here is a couple of pics for comparison. Hope that helps.

I would say the fenders have been changed and he used the original rear fender brace.. the rear rack is deff not the original one1

Pedals & Tires are not OG either.. Fair price? Hard to say, But finding those parts may prove pricey & difficult

Did he put 24" balloon tires on a 26" middleweight? That's kind of what it looks like

He calls it a 24". But I agree with M.E. Even if he came down to zero, those parts would cost me more than it's worth.

There's an RRB member who was selling one much more complete, so I'm going to try to bite the bullet and work a deal. I think my wife would really like a nice Spaceliner.

always better find one complete, even if it cost a bit more, saves time & money in the long run!..

I bet its a 26" and the tires are 24". That's why there is a gap around the top.

I would go for the more complete one as well

Yeah, I ended up picking a really nice one off ebay complete for 100$ and local pickup to boot.. not many ladies I'd pay 100$ for but it's sweet. I agree that it looks like a 26" bike with 24" balloon wheels, but possibly the correct fenders. It may just be the proportions of the wheels making the fenders look wrong.. but maybe not.

My advice: if you're not concerned with prissy all original bikes, take it for what it is and enjoy it. Otherwise your wallet could be empty very quickly finding parts for it.
