Hello everyone!
Yes, yet another Roadmaster i got!
This time it is a ladies bike and it is for a friend of mine, so i promise to finish this one soon
I had to use this chance, since it was sold in the Netherlands and not for too much money. The bike appears to be completely original, though i am not sure about the tires. Here is the photo i got from the seller.
So, quite a rare thing for Europe It was missing the kickstand, but they used to have Wald stands on from the factory, and by luck that was exactly what i had on my reproduction 1998 Roadmaster! Correct me if i am wrong on details.
I see it is also missing the "Skylark" sticker on the chain guard, but apart from that seems to be complete! I'd be happy to hear your opinions on that, it's my firts AMF bike and i may be wrong.
According to Philip Marshall's table M stands for 1962.
So here is what i would have to do. Firstly i need to come up with a longer seatpost. A friend who is going to ride the bike is just a little too tall for the original quill post, so it seems i'd have to make one myself.
Secondly i need to fix the tank. I believe it is messed up a bit and missing a battery cage. I'd appreciate if someone can take a photo of what this tank should look like form inside, so i know how to restore it.
Thanks everyone for your feedback and enjoy your day
