snyder built 60's iirc.

nice ride. But I hate their bottom bracket setup if yours is the same mine was. I'll see if I can find a pic of mine before I sold it.

They pitched that as a "dust free bearing system"... :roll: -Adam

good to know actually... I just really hated fitting it back on... so I just pitched it (onto another bike).

here was mine after I was able to get the housepaint off the headbadge.

I was just out looking at the bottom bracket, it does have a wierd cover over the bottom bracket on the left side. Hopefully it's not too difficult to repack. I plan to ride this one and will want everything lubed right. Ive been eyeballing it for at least 2 years in Ratdaddy's garage. I finally came into the right parts he wanted to trade it for. So it worked out great for both of us and he will still get to ride it.

I just ratted out a basket case Rollfast with the same frame. I heated and bent the seat tube back like an Electra. They are way cool bikes. Your is real sharp. Congrats!

WOW, that is really clean. Great find. I see your from Denver, do you do the Cruiser Rides down there? I am from Loveland, and I have not rode on any of those. I have done the Moonlight Classic a lot of times. I am thinking of doing the Boulder or Longmont cruiser nights. Anyway nice bike. Leo

I dont drink any more and the Denver Cruiser ride is just a big booze cruise. I like to go see the bikes but the crowd gets to be too much for me. There is also supposed to be a govs park tavern ride starting this month that is supposed to be a lot mellower, Im hoping to get to check it out if my work schedule allows.

Great find John! I'd be proud to own & ride it myself. Looks in really good shape! 8)
