1949 Roadmaster Luxury Liner

[blwnmny]

I have this Original 1949 Luxury Liner heading my way soon, all original, just need the battery tray for the rear rack. I feel lucky to get my hands on one of these, they are not easy to find original. I am looking forward to the day she arrives!

Should be a nice match for your late model one!

 

[blwnmny]

I agree, I honestly never thought a would find one. It's all complete minus the rear battery tray which is not gonna be an easy task to find one. I believe it still has the original brake actuator on it for the stop light, you can see the wire down by the rear axle.

Good luck in your search, ill keep my eyes peeled...i seen a rough bike with that rack somewhere lately online......hmmmmm...

 

[blwnmny]

Thanks Dave...I appreciate that Man.

 

[blwnmny]

Well I just got word that it's getting shipped from Florida today!

 

[blwnmny]

She should be in my hands in the next few days.

 

[blwnmny]

It's now in my possession! Mwaa...Mwaa..Mwaaaahaaa!!

Ok, here's the deal. I always like to ask for people's opinions on stuff so....... What do you think for tires on this heavy tank of a bicycle? Creme? White? Traditional white walls? black? Etc. Let's hear it!

 

[ratrodz]

Red or white walls...think solid white might overpower the bike, imo! Great score!! No matter what you choose... I know you'll do it justice! ! !

 

[ratrodz]

Actually looking at it again, solid white might not be bad at all!

White Walls

 

[STEZELL]

I would say redwalls or creme color don't show dirt as bad.

 

[blwnmny]

Anybody else? Crazy Dave? Raf?

The red tires look good, but maybe a bit of red overload.
let me search around for other examples

 

[kingfish254]

I don't see a single other example of the bike with creme tires, so I would go creme. Whitewalls seems to be the norm and they do look good on there, but I bet cremes would be great.
