1940’s Roadmaster Cycle
This is a late 40’s American Roadmaster.
Most people associate the name ‘Roadmaster’ with Buick. But this is the kind of Roadmaster that 10 year olds discovered next to the Xmas tree back in those good ol’ Leave-it-to-Beaver days.
I found it in a junk shop while we were in South Carolina in Easter 2005. I managed to get new wheels, tyres and front light at a cycle shop nearby (beach cruisers are back in vogue so parts availability via catalogue is excellent). They also parcelled it up for me - so it only cost $50 to bring back as check-in luggage on the plane coming home.
