Do you know the model name of that sears? Is it "sea pines" or something? I have the girls version like that, also in black, though the fenders arent pin stripped.
The white walls are old - I actually got them off of another old Sears, an Austrian made one which was missing too many parts to be useful, but the tires were still good so I saved them.
This bike doesn't seem to have a model name, and strangely it has no serial number on the frame either - so maybe it's not a huffy - but the chain wheel, chain guard, and dropouts all look like Huffy components, though on closer inspection though the front fork is atypical for a Huffy, as are the seat-stays. I'm stumped. It's obviously not a Columbia, an AMF, or a Murray, but has no Huffy serial numbers ~ did Huffy ever stamp them anywhere other than the headtube or rear dropouts?
And yeah I got these last three bikes from the same person, I made a post about it in the craiglist finds thread, he even had a Jeunet for $10, which I'd take if it weren't way too tall for me - he also claims to have a Motobecane in much better condition (the jeunet has been sitting in his backyard in rainy WA for a few years). I may go back to him to get some more parts, but I've got enough complete bikes now.
