Rust Master is the sheit! What is it a Columbia, Monark, Elgin? The handlebars don't do it for me. They need more rust. But, that's a pre war gem bro. Bonzai!

Re: RustMaster

yummm... what a rich patina. that's a beauty!

nice choice on the red tires - they kinda carry on with the various shades of oxidation. that nice seat sure is in good condition.

Re: RustMaster

For dating purposes the frame is 1947-1949 (dated by the style of the rear dropouts and the Seat binder collar) and the fork with the bumper truss rods is 1950-1954.

Re: RustMaster

Thats a sweet ride. I agree the bars need more rust but other than that its perfect. Thats a really unique looking seat too.

Re: RustMaster

RUST what rust, what I see is beautiful PATINA.
A paint job just talks a few hours, but patina like that takes YEARS.

And that chainguard is different in that it covers the sprocket on both sides, neat.

Nice looking Roadmaster....I have a soft spot for them myself. Heres mine....

 

[dogdart]

Only here can these changes be considered upgrades :wink: Recovered the seat with some leather from an old jacket , and added some padding . Got some sweet braced handlebars and Torrington stem , too

 

[RadOne]

Oh man, what did you do with that other stem? Does it need a new home?
