it happened like this......bought a complete sears spaceliner on ebay,christmas morning,for $57.00. while awaiting my new toy,rumblins of a spaceliner build off were brewing,and when it arrived,i pulled the frame out of the box and dove right into the Blast Off! :D made a lil hot rod bike,had alot of fun,then dismantled the bike about a month later.set the frame aside,built another bike,next thing you know its RRBO time! 8) ended up reaching into the still packed spaceliner box,pulled out the rat trap springer and mated it to a rollfast frame,where it will remain. now i have an incomplete bike! :roll: earlier this month,i bought a standard chrome spaceliner fork from bighit,and decided to put it together.at work one of my customers asked me what kind of bike i was working on now? instead of trying to describe the bike,i told him to type in sears spaceliner on google images,on the cellphone he was holding.his next words were"i want it!" i threw out a price,he said yes,finished it on sunday,delivered it today. i rode the completed bike around the block ONCE! :shock: forgive me joeymac! :( changed seat,grips,pedals,and did a little bare metal to patina fade on the rack.oh yeah...a lot of steel wool and brasso! :D

ok.....the handlebars were tucked away in an ebay store for $40.00,for about a year. every once in a while i would check on them,but could not tell what they looked like because of the way the pics were taken. they were calling them chopper pullback bars! when the price dropped to $20.00,i bought them out of curiousity.when i opened the box,i knew i had scored! :D all i know is they were made by wald! heres the ebay pics that dont really show what they actually looked like.

that spaceliner turned out great! like the red paint detail under the seat, too... and of course enough chrome to choke a chromaholic like myself. "i want it.", woulda been the same words out my mouth, too.
