Yard Sale Rollfast

Postby Chips_Mahoy on Sun Jun 10, 2012 5:44 am

I picked this up on the way home from the show yesterday. I don't know what year it is, but for $10 I wasn't going to pass it up. I'm thinking of cleaning it up really goog and clear cloating over is as is. We'll see.....

Pretty cool for ten bucks. I would guess early 60s. What kind of coaster does it have?

Dont know yet. Didn't look. When I was loading this up another guy started checking out the bikes. Long story short, he said he had a bunch of "old" bikes he needs to get rid of in a hurry. I'll post about that later.....

Here's what the headbadge would look like if it wasn't so faded out (if that will help date it):

It rolls freely and the tires are the older style but still in good shape.

Nice score for $10.
It doesn't matter what I paid for it, it matters what it's WORTH. I never buy anything I will regret KEEPING.

The switched to a foil sticker sometime in the mid or late 60s. I think I've heard 1966, but I might be remembering that wrong.

I couldn't find any writing/markings on the hub itself (yet) but here's the brake arm:

$10 never spent better, your brake arm looks like it maybe a replacement hub, snyder built frame. Have fun with it.
If it's not been rusty what good is it?
NOS is cool, but rust is life.

The coaster is much later than the bicycle, they probably replaced the original when they put the new pedals and seat on, I would reckon.

What is really cool is I had a Hawthorne that had a very similar frame, I paid that exact same price.

That's what I fugured. They must've put it on then let it sit outside by looking at the weathering on the rims.
