Anyone familiar with a SPARTAN bicycle?
 

Hi, I recently purchased a 10 speed bike from a yard sale figuring it would be a good extra bike ( I live near the beach and I can't always lug out the mountain bike). It is in really great shape (just a few minor paint chips). The previous owner said they think they got it back in the late 70's early 80's? Anyway, after getting it home I looked up the bike to see if I could get accessories for it or spare parts for the future but I can't find it anywhere...so now I don't know if this bike is actually named Spartan or if that is just a label that got put on it? It also says Falcon on the handlebars but I didn't find that either. I just want to know more about the bike (or how I can find out more about it), how I can get parts and if $15.00 was too much to pay for it ? Thanks!

Really need some pictures of this. You might have a gem.

Here is what I have for a picture (I am having troubles with my camera...I have more in the camera but can't get them to upload)...the front of the handle bars say Falcon. I just looked again and the sprocket/brakes say Falcon too.

False alarm: 70's bike boom era bike (probably Japanese) with an upright bar conversion. Would be practical to get you around town and looks like in a very good shape. $15 well spent!

+1 Low end bike boom bike. Looks to be in nice shape. Ride it and enjoy!!

Parts are nothing special. Lots of parts from that era on ebay or find a donor bike.

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

Once again this thread is over two years old, and the OP looks to have never posted again.

Zombie alert.
