Help Identify a Rollfast

[menejal]

I just purchased a girls Rollfast bicycle model B275662. It is a 26" tank bike. If anyone out there can help me identify the year of the bike with that serial number, it would help me out. Judging by other serial numbers I have come across, I date it 53'-55' maybe??Thanks

Looks early 60's- late 50's to me. No 70's bike had sheet metal or drive sprockets like that.

Looks late 50's to me, going by the heavy rack and graphics on the tank. The roll of cash stashed in the tank will show the approximate year, or if it has a horn the batteries might be original and date the bike.

Wildcat and Deorman,
I agree with you both as far as late 50's early 60's. Can't agree with 67 or 77. Bike styles and metal works had changed by then. I have been able to investigate that rollfast bikes were a HP Snyder variety and a similar serial number higher than mine was dated 56'. That's why I initially guessed 53-55. Thanks for the insight. Already sold the bike and made a young gal happy.
