A ladies Roadmaster and a men Colson Roadking skiptooth

Thanks in advance for any info about the men's bike.

The mens bike looks to be a 40ish Colson snap tank. Im sure Tyler will chime in with more details on it soon. He seems to be our resident Colson guy.

Nice Colson! '38-40ish; a few parts like bars/stem and the fenders have been replaced, but the core is there and correct. These can be dated from a serial number--you'll see something like D8 being 1938 and then the general consensus is that D would be the month for April.

Roadmaster looks to be from right when AMF bought out CWC, circa 1955 +/- a year.

thanks for info. It is a Colson Flyer, right?

What about the ladies Roadmaster: should it have a springer fork?

You're finding some real nice bikes on a regular basis. Good job hunting! That boys bike is a killer. Gary

Could have been badged a number of things. Flyer being one of them.

The fork on the Roadmaster is original.
