Mystery Cruiser

A man called yesterday and told me he was leaving an old girls bike out under his carport for me to haul away. It was free and i never saw the owner. The old bike is solid but rusty. Tires are rotten but held air and rideable. What is it?? Note the sprocket guard and no chain guard. Also appears to have had front hand brakes at one time.

I dont know what it is but i like the chainring cover.

Isnt that a shimano 333 twist-shift grip?

What size are the wheels?


I'm going to wager that the bike is japanese.

Dunno... but it has a cool crank on it! 8)

I'm thinking Ross, by the fork crown and welded frame. Does it have 3 or 4 holes in the front of the head tube? A pic of the sprocket from the other side would help. The handlebars and stem look like wald, American made.

Not sure what holes you are talking about. Its a 26 in. coaster brake single speed. Heres a pic of the chainring.

It may be a Rollfast, going by the sprocket. Where the headbadge would be attached is where Ross had 3 or 4 holes drilled, one larger in the middle.

No holes in headtube at all.

After a wwek of trying to sell it on cl with no interest I sold the grips and taking the bike to the thrift store.

you should offer up the sprocket/sprocket cover. I'd be interested in it.
