1953 Roadmaster Men's Tank Bike Green w/White & Red Trim 26" Balloon Tire Model!

Description

Gorgeous original paint & equipment 1953 Roadmaster Men's Tank Bike Green w/White & Red Trim 26" Balloon Tire Model! This mid line Roadmaster has a lot going for it with it's wide longhorn bars, rear rack, dual crash bar style truss rods and rack struts,  rear reflector with bezel and an amazing red Troxel crash rail seat! Original USR Chain Tread tires are in poor condition but luckily have been reproduced. The bike is missing it's softball headlight and original pedals which have been replaced with nice period Chair men's waffle block units. Tank is clean inside with no rust and a nice horn/button/battery tray. Front rim has a rusty section, rear will clean up. The rear rack has a rusty area on top. I think the front hub is a Musselman, with rear New Departure D. No noted frame isses or crash damage after a careful inspection. In researching this bicycle I found many less Roadmaster badged examples than the Luxury and Pleasure Liner models of the same era. I found a few similar examples but none with this combination of two color paint accents, earlier style chain guard and red seat. I ship whole bikes via Bikeflights/UPS or Shipbikes/FedEx, and charge raw shipping cost plus a nominal fee for materials. I've quoted a flat 0 fee to cover most shipping scenarios. If significantly less I may be able to refund the difference but generally this shipping cost is not negotiable. Please message me if you have further questions, thanks for your interest!
