Prewar road master

[el_espanto]

HAVNT bought a bike in a loooong time
And picked this bike for a price I couldn't walk away from. No idea if it has correct parts or year. Can anyone help ID please and all comments welcome

Looks like maybe a wartime bike. I don't think I've seen that chain ring in 1/2" pitch before, it is CWC though (makers of Road Masters). Check the BB for serial, and any codes at the end of the #. -Adam

Thank u, wartime means it's 45 and up?
I assumed it was because I found a similar bike online and it was described as a
1936 roadmaster lightweight
About the chainring, yeah me either
I coulda swore it was a skiptooth but
apparently not. I'll check the serial and post it. Thanks again

Here's a 36 CWC lightweight from Dave's Vintage Bikes:

Yes! That's the one I saw also, it looks the same no?

I've never seen that style chain ring in that pitch either, or that chain guard. The experts will have to solve this one.

Great bike! I think someone here had one of these lightweights in a previous build off.
