The birth of the Pimp Cruise Liner

[Slow-Rider]

not made up mind on frame yet. as seen severable boys JC Space liners/Flight Liner on Ebay for sale. just debating on what's the better starter one to buy. then add the parts in I want to give it a more pimp vibe. leaning to the all chrome frame models. like the one I had stolen. but could do a painted version. with new funky 70's type color. spayed on by me.
so fare. all I got is the Ida / plane & these parts. 1967 stamped Schwinn bars, low rider repop banana seat. or may find a frame in my stash I like . but not holding my breath that I have a cooler frame. thinking keep it simple 7 speed nexus hub. or simpler 3 speed. got to be geared for cruising. yet have a high speed mode and a hill clim gear.

on the odd chance you don't no what a space liner is? for reference

I believe those are Flightliners. Although I am often wrong. But I recently did a lot of googling trying to figure out what I had.

Flightliner and Spacetliner look to use the exact same factory frame. one got branded Sears other got Branded JC but same basic bike. but ya mite just be a catalog ordered frame many brands put their own parts on.

Cool idea. Great frame todo it with.

I think you will need one of these to ride with.

I like the sound of your plan!

Spaceliner

flightliner. While close, the frames are not the same.

 

[Pondo]

Cool concept. The bend on those handlebars should look perfect with this frame.

 

[Slow-Rider]

good news I think I have the hole build planed out.
bad news not yet picked out a frame to start with.

Here let me help you decide...

Look forward to you pimping your ride.
However the Spaceliner and Flightliner frames are two completely different frames

These are two separate men's frames. There may be similarities and shared trim, but that are two different frames.
With the men's frames, you can always identify them by the bar or bars that are below the top tubes.


Men's Spacliner - second set of double bars always runs from the head tube all the way back to the dropouts (or just slightly above the drops).

SPACELINER

Men's Flightliner - the front of the bars below the top bars do not connect to the head tube, instead they connect to the down tube.

SO 9.5”

Plenty of time. I would wait and see.

Plenty of time. I would wait and see.

time lines fine. but all my bike build funds. have gone to that build.

 

[Slow-Rider]

as you can see have been side tracked not working on the pimp.

been buying parts for the Ditto in stead of the Pimp

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Those candy bars are rad, love that stem, built in cable stop is a sweet touch

 

[Slow-Rider]

more parts in root not for my pimp.

 

[Slow-Rider]

for my Ditto build. I just bought A done used Fit 22 for $400.00 + $50.00 shipping. it has the wheels I wanted, tires, tubs, Chain, seat post ,head set, Cranks, pedals. I can all use on this BMX build then sell off the rest of it. to pay for what I keep.
