Thanks Byron.
Yeah beginning to investigate sources. Interesting what I’ve learned about the Spyder bikes in the last week or so. Some US made, some Austrian. Single piece vs three piece cranks. The front tire of mine is a Swedish Trelleborg. The rear slick is a no name Japanese tire. Can’t reconcile the SN stamped on the drop out to either a Sears model or a Murray SN.
I recall it being a rear coaster only from new but, there’s an itch to add period features that it never had in my youth, LOL. Guess we never get tired of that kind of thing,,,, both tires are to dry rotted to use so, I’ll most likely source new repos. Can’t see trying to find usable original tires.
As cool as the old Schwinn muscle bikes are, I’m glad that I’m not restoring one, haha. The Porsche hobby is enough of a dollar suck, ha!
So, this:
