    1945 CWC Roadmaster

    So, I'm a little upset with myself for not doing better research, but the chainguard I bought is NOT right. I'm not sure if someone has a line on the correct chainguard for this bike or if someone can tell me what year the one I have SHOULD fit, I'd GREATLY appreciate it... That being said...

    RoadMaster - discussion

    I think there is room for both schools of thought. I really like when someone has a classic old frame and updates it with newer parts just as much as I like to see an all original bike. Ultimately it's up to the end user... Sure you can have a 100% original 1937 BlahBlahBlah... But if it's not...

    I know these aren't "correct" but I'm not a fan of the Torringtons, and think the tear drop shape will compliment the chainring! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I got the dog leg for $10 on eBay... Just gotta keep your eyes open. It was a little rough, but 20 mins on the buffer wheels and she cleaned up purty! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    They are 1Shot, and so close to the original colors I hate to try and mix up a batch... Since I'm going to all of the striping - it'll all match! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thank you! I'm ABSOLUTELY learning as I go... And like I said, it took a long time trying to decide whether I should repaint, leave it as is... Or the mixture of the two. I hope I can pull off the rest of the mix!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1945 CWC Roadmaster

    I had quite a time trying to decide what to do with the paint. As you can see, for a 70 year old bike, it was in pretty damn good shape... But I felt like it needed... SOMETHING. So I decided to repaint the accent colors and let the patina show through the maroon. Here is step one... Re-striping...

    I've slowly been scooping up parts... Not necessarily a perfect recreation, but as close as possible given my quirky taste. Here is a Lobdell three-spring saddle I painted and re-covered... What I think to be the correct chainguard before and after polishing... I was told a dog-leg...

    So, I was at a show up at Heritage Cycles this summer and fell in love with a bike... Cleveland Welding Co way era Roadmaster. Something about the lines were PERFECT! Not to mention that the one in the show was SPOTLESS. Fast forward a few months and low and behold there is one for sale right...
