It looks mid-late 60's going by the chain guard and the chain wheel. If this is the chain wheel:
But the forks are forged, which is good, but usually were on older bikes. The paint matches well, so they probably are original. The frame looks like an older model also, like 50's, but the chain guard looks like the original also, so my best guess is late 60's. Maybe early 70's.
It looks like a good bike, not beat up and probably taken care of before it sat in the barn. Easily worth 20 bucks.

What do you think of ditching the rusty fenders and adding 26 x 195 tires from an old mtn bike?

Those would work, and go right on those wheels if they are good. 2.125 will probably fit if you wanted to go even wider. And save the fenders for a possible change later.
This is the Rollfast I REALLY wanted but didnt work out.

They stayed basically the same from 63-70s. This one has a BMA/6 decal, making it a 71 at the oldest. -Adam
That frame is nice with lots of potential.

Well another one got away. The lady had to check with her brother about selling her dads old bike and the answer was NO. Going back in the barn to rot. I never got too excited about the whole deal cause I figured what the outcome would be. Seen it too many times and I was right.

The lady who has it finally convinced the family let her sell it to me so planning a little trip next week to bring home.
Now I cant get. We agreed on a 20.00 purchase price but the husbands is looking at overpriced internet junk thinking its worth a lot more. They can shove it sideways.
