Anyone ever hear of a Spartan road bike?

Somehow I don't think it would have all of the latest bells and whistles!

The Spartan bikes I have seen pics of were all just Bike Boom department store quality bikes.
Got any pics of yours?
"Sparta" is a dutch brand.
I recall correctly, they were a second tier brand until recent years, making nice but not especially note-worthy bicycles. I don't know if they made road bikes, they certainly made Dutch Roadsters.

I found it on craigslist, all i got from the guy was that it's a 10 speed men's bike that he bought in either 82 or 83 and it's been sitting since 86. He said it's a "Spartan" with drop bars. I'm going to see it at 4 so I'll have a better idea then.

Alright I picked it up, was only $25, brought it home, it's a tad too small, but it's definitely a department store bike. Looks like it was never used for more than a mile. Has strange foam pads instead of wrapped bars though. Might try and flip it real quick for $50 so i can pick something else up.

Hello do you have the Spartan bicycle? If so would you be interested in selling it?

He posted on three in the last hour or so, seems very desperate to own a Spartan
not to be confused with "Sparton" bikes, a short-lived mid-2000's brand from Chile.
