Roadmaster

Had a repop tank from a trade last year, so was looking for a frame. Found one on fb marketplace yesterday. $40 not sure if it’s repop frame though, I think it might be original, but still trying to decipher all the serial number info that’s out there. No additional info from the person that sold it to me. It did have a piece of masking tape with ‘52 roadmaster written on it.

This is the serial number if anyone had additional input.

This thread should shed some light

CWC original frame. One caution for building it up. You need a larger chainring and a larger cog. If you go too small the chain rubs on the bend in the chain stay. These frames can only be used with a multi speed cassette if you want it for a klunker with some lower gearing. Some of these CWC frames have a low bottom bracket, fine for street though.

1951, there should be a Cw after the A

I know I have the fenders somewhere, might throw a beehive or x53 springer on it. Not a fan of the chain guard, and the tank was rattle canned (it’s repop).

I have a couple pretty nice Roadmaster cranks one is a 56 and I think the other is a Ladies 52. I'll snap a couple pics tonight

Definitely not a repop frame. For one, the rear dropouts are rear facing. Also,the chainstays have that beautiful curve to them, repops are straighter.
Compare it to my repop (repops also have goofy chainguard brackets too)

So... what’s it worth? Thinking of thinning out the herd anyway.
