Scored an AMF

[Dave63]

Unsure of year/model. Chain guard is pretty rusty and unreadable. As a matter of fact, the entire bike with exception of the frame is a rust magnet. Looks to be a Bendix rear brake, but chrome on hub is peeling. Not sure what to do with it. Resto....tires and bearing service and ride it, or just leave it as it is and put it in the yard. Unsure. I got it, and the seat for 2 hours of labor at a friend's shop, helping out with some grunt work this morning.

Lemme know your ideas...

Ooooooooooo!! :mrgreen:

I just walked out in the garage, and I spotted this!! It's aluminum. Looks like neighboring county from mine, NCBL-"Northampton County Bike License", PA-Pennsylvania. Sa-weet!

The fenders & sprocket are sa-weet!!

Hmmmm.....it appears to be a 1960-61 Roadmaster Saturn. Missing the tank. Not sure though, as the seat has a rail, which it doesn't seem the 60's models had that, rather, only the late 50's models....

Nice cantilever bike. the chain guard and sprocket looks like the ones that came on my wifes mid 60s western flyer sonic flyer

Is it me, or are the spokes on this bike [seem] needle thin??? Is that normal? Should I be looking at respoking them due to my weight?
