Anyone know what this is?

'Holiday' long frame, apparently sold in Holiday gas/service station. So it's rebadged something. It's not a Rail. It's not a Long Boy. I can't think of anything else with a long frame. Any ideas?

No idea, but I love the loop around the top of the tire...

The dropouts look a little like Ross. The serial number will begin with an R if it is a Ross.

I think that is a Rollfast made bike. Montgomery Wards bought from them too for thier bikes.

Also, I think that one is a Forumula V.

Looks like a pre-dual top tube Formula V.

Definately Rollfast/ Snyder built frame - headbadge even looks like the Hawthorne ones.
Nice find - agree with eagleeye, liekly a formula V bike.

Nice find there Rusty, cool ad!

Same here, on second look, looks like a Rollfast bike, the fork crown looks the same and the dropouts look just like Rollfast, not Ross as I originally thought. Ross also has 3 holes in the head tube where the badge goes.

Clicking on the pic to enlarge it, that you posted originally Crash, I think there is twin top tubes on that frame?

Indeed Luke! Other pics show the dual top tubes.

And it isn't a Holiday badged bike, I think that head badge is a Hawthorne...it is a Formula V.

You guys are like the Sherlock Holmeses of the muscle bike world! lol

I was toying with the idea of getting it for a project, but I've got 3 20" bikes for my son. It's to the point he only rides one, the Judge, but he rides Blackjack too. He's thinking we should sell the Dill Pickle so we have room, especially since I'm building the 24" Spyder for him to grow into.

...a formula V bike.

You've got a PM and an e-mail. Choose your poison!

That's a cool bike when it's all built up! Starting from just a frame would be expensive and time consuming if you were going for a full restoration though. That's why I think it would be a cool custom project. However, the original looks really good. I'm a sucker for 5 speeds.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

That is a long bike!
