Two Road Masters and a Speed-o

[hammer mechanic]

A gentleman traded these to me for cash today.

First a Road Master:

New Departure in rear and a blackout New Departure in front:

It also came with this:

Second, another Road Master with customary red repaint:

Also had a Delta fender light:

Third is a girls Speed-O-King with Glider head badge. It has a matching paint Rocket Ray light in front(pretty crusty), as well as Carlisle Lightning Dart tires and a Perry hub in back. I think the paint could be brought back on this one:

This conjures up all sorts of bad images for me:

What is the background graphic on the girls head badge? That might be the weirdest, and just in time for holloween? Juice harp, saw blade, animal trap, can opener, what the heck is is that? Nice finds!

 

[Kruez]

A glider, flying through a cloud? Ok, I see it now. The text covers too much of the graphic, orange and black, it's too early, and too late in October, need my morning coffee..

Yeah, I think the artist dropped the ball on that badge. Still pretty cool, though.

Agreed! Cool because I was reading something else into it. You said what it was, however, I skipped over the text and went straight for the pictures like I always do.

Very cool! Love the Speed - o - king guard !

Excellent Deal. Both the Roadmasters have my favorite frame style with the top tubes. I can't tell whether the girl's bike has rusty chrome or painted fenders but I'm sure the painted parts will come out nice. Have Fun with those.

The fenders are painted, and you can still see the pin striping. I haven't tried cleaning them with anything yet. Maybe this weekend.

Love that period correct aftermarket pedal!

I especially like that it's the left side. Probably not going to save this crank.

Great scores! Those look like good project material.
