Fiberglass Bicycle - 1960 Bowden Spacelander

https://nbhaa.com/indexBowden.html

This link is to the National bicycle Historical Association of America's page about the Bowden Spacelander.

It includes a reprint of an article from a 1985 Cyclist magazine.

This link was posted at Mopedarmy.com, after someone posted this* link about a 1961 Prototype Bowden on Ebay.

At this time, the high bid is $1,913.88 (reserve not met).

Wouldn't have thought a fiberglass bike would weigh 50#.

The ebay link is still not responding and the bike doesn't show up in a search, as far as I can tell. How about posting just the item number Hotbike?
