Joe B.’s 1983 Sear Free Spirit

Posted

Winner of December’s OTSOTM, Joe B. in St. Louis sent in another of his flipped whips. This one is a gleaming 1983 Sears Free Spirit. And as is with all of Joe’s whips, this one is sporting an all too inviting SDGCS (Super Deluxe Comfort Saddle).

You’ve been nice enough to post 2 other bikes I’ve refurbished on your web site. Here’s a 1983 Sears ‘Free Spirit’ 12 speed. New tires, tubes & rim strips. New pedals, Schwinn saddle, new alloy stem mounted shifters vs. the O.E. plastic ones, new brake shoes and all new cables.

Thanks again Joe

    Thanks Bob & Aletta. I have fun working on them, but mostly seeing the finished product.

    I just bought the women’s version of this bike this morning at Goodwill. It has all the original parts, but the paint has taken a lot of abuse. That must be why it was $8.00! It will need new tires and maybe new cables. The most interesting thing about it is that the back wheel has a side-pull brake, but the front has a center-pull.
