A little elbow grease and she'll be fine! Read some stuff on restoration or maybe preservation might be better....she looks fairly original. I have no idea what she might be, but I've seen bikes like her when I was a kid.

She looks almost like a sears spaceliner bike by the headlight setup probably from the late 50s to 60s I'd say. Very cool bikes when restored. Have seen some nice ones turned rat to lucky find for that price. They are worth a small fortune to some when done up right

Honey, it's just a bicycle. and i REALLY need it to excercise, and to ride it to work.(hehe)
