Also, your bike looks great, but I'd get that back brake looked at! 😉

Mine is at the bottom of this page: 1974 Sears Spring Summer Catalog, Page 976 - Catalogs & Wishbooks (musetechnical.com)

1974 Sears Ted Williams Free Spirit with Reynolds 531 frame

I found it last year at a thrift store for less than lunch for me and my wife. Mainly, it just needed some TLC to get it ready to ride.
