54' ROADMASTER LUXURY LINER 3 speed balloon tire

[SimpleMan]

Always liked these......1954 Roadmaster Luxury Liner. As an added bonus someone spoked a Schwinn front drum brake on it....has the matching script brake lever :mrgreen: Has a 54' dated Sturmey Archer 3 speed coaster brake rear hub....that really looks to be original to the bike. This one was living in an old factory building a block from my house.

That is real awesome, beautifully designed all the way around.

 

[Rat Rod]

That'll clean up nicely...awesome design. :wink:

Super streamline cool!!!!

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

Great find! That will clean up nicely, love the black frame w/red and chrome accents.

Is it Murray built? Tank looks kinda Colorflowish, X53ish, Jetflowish in shape.

Can''t wait to see what you do with it.

Cheers,

Man!! You can't look at that bike and eyes go from tank point to carrier tail, back and forth. Beautiful bike.

Hi! They also swapped sides w/ the lower trusses on the springer. From the factory the bumpers face forward - first time I've seen them reversed - kind of cool actually! Great Score! Robert

Robert, they swapped the trusses to clear the pork chop (bracket) on the Schwinn drum brake.

Glad you guys like it.....I always enjoy seeing the stuff you guys post. I'm always amazed at what shows up here and the imagination in the builds. I need to do another bike soon :?

Anyone out there have an extra cardinal leadlight laying around :mrgreen:

Kind of the end of line for the Cleveland Welding stuff after AMF took over and maybe an early look at the middleweights that were right around the corner. The thing still weighs a ton like a ballooner though.

 

[kscheel]

Sweet ride. Gotta love the drum brake and 3-speed combo.

 

[Aunt C]

Wow, I am not usually very excited over mens bikes (I know...I am weird) but I have to say that is one really neat bike.

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

Great bike!

BTW, 'pick' is selling a cardinal light at a great price in the 'for sale's section.

Cheers,

[kingfish254]

That is really a slick looking tank/rack combo!!!

 

[mastronaut]

Congrats on a nice snag! Looks really beefy, you gonna restore, rat or a combo of both?
