Rollfast

[retrowagen1234]

Hey guys... Im new to this although ive been into bikes for years now... and spent most of my school years chopping them about... (im in the uk btw )

Im in a strange situation atm where im in a position to buy two rollfast speedsters!! One i know is a 54 model . Anyone know anything or have a build thread for one :lol:

the other is unknown and ive yet to see it... American bikes are rare over here as is. Let alone two rollfasts and both speedsters!! so im realy into buying at least one and building it into something fun for everyday...


Id love to hear some tips or anything you can offer on them

Rollfast was the "house brand" of the D.P. Harris Co. They had the Snyder Co. build bikes for them. Snyder also built most Montgomery Ward's Hawthornes, as well as Athlete, Ben Hur, Black Beauty, Blue Ribbon, Cadet, Gold Medal, Harvard, Lexington, Peerless, Princeton, Rex, Roamer, Royal Flyer, Savage, Standard, and Yale badges. -Adam
