Description

Here is an original PREWAR VINTAGE (I believe 1941, possibly 1940. The serial number is J89814) men\'s ROAD MASTER balloon tire beach cruiser bicycle with 26\" wheels. It is in the original and very appealing 2-tone red and grey colored factory paint. If you like clean original bikes, this may be a great bike for you. It was always stored inside in a clean dry area. With the insanely high price of gas (and the economy being bad) now is the time to ride a cool vintage bike!

*This bike has a cool mens cruiser style frame with original paint and decals, frame mounted TANK, truss rod forks, brass Road Master head badge, original wrap around style chainguard, Crashrail cruiser style seat, wide cruiser handlebars, full \"gothic\" raised center fenders with cool style braces and built in rear reflector, (reflector is missing a small chunk) super cool HEADLIGHT, (untested) 8-hole rear carrier RACK, Skiptooth chain and sprockets, and more! Check out the cool rear dropouts. I believe the majority of this bike to be original parts from when it was new! (see pics and be your own expert, Im guessing the seat has been replaced)

*This bike was discovered in Ripon, Wisconsin back in the 1990s from the original owner. It has always been well cared for and it shows. (I got this from a friend who got it from the original owner back then) This bike is from my own personal collection. I have had this one on display INSIDE my home! I absolutely LOVE this one! Bikes this nice made before WWII simply do not come along which is why I have coveted this one! I have added a couple bikes to my collection in the past month or 2 so I have decided to sell this one. Im really having a hard time parting ways with this one so I do hope it goes to a great new home. I cant imagine finding such a cool nice bike like this one anytime soon again!

*The tires are 26x2.125\". They are vintage Davis Deluxe tires and do hold air. The bike has factory painted and pinstriped rims front and rear with a Morrow rear hub. The hub has Ecipse Mfg Elmira, New York on the round part of the hub itself.

*The bike is an original SINGLE SPEED with coaster brakes. (pedal slightly backwards to stop the bike)

*DIMENSIONS The stand over height is approx 30 1/2\". The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 28 3/4\". The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 19\". The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 22 1/2\". The bike will accommodate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust.

*NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is nice considering its age. The paint looks good for a 70+ year old bike! (has chips scratches etc but is one of the nicer unrestored originals you could ever ask for!) The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality. (bars etc show age, see pics) The low seat tube has a poor weld from the factory. (see the closeup pics) The tube is still solid in place but I do like to point out the details. I have ridden it like this with no problem. (just like to be honest with you about things, you probably wouldnt even notice) The rear wheel has a slight wobble when you spin it. If you click on any of the pics they get very large to show lots of detail. Please take a look at all pics for exact condition and email with any questions before you offer.

*This is one of the absolute NICEST unrestored prewar bikes I have ever owned! Take good care of it and it will only go UP in value! I really hate to let this one go! I hope you enjoy it and take great care of it. This is a RARE bike in rare condition!

*This appears to be a fairly nice original unmolested bicycle unless otherwise noted. A great bike to ride on relaxing days through the park or to the beach. Also would be a nice item to display in a shop, restaurant, rec room, sports bar, etc. Stand out from the crowd and be the envy of people who see you riding by. People will enjoy seeing you on your vintage bike! A great classic bike at a great price

*Why not ride a bike? You will live longer, feel better, and save $$$ vs of the insanely high cost of gasoline. If you are looking for a fun bike to ride and enjoy this may be it! A nice bike to cruise the beach or your local park! Priced way less than a dime store bike that wont be around 5 years from now, much less 30+ years like this one! Please give this bike a good home and DON\'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Classic bikes are very cool because not everyone on the block has one! People love to see and talk about and ride these classic bikes! They are more popular now than ever before!

*This may be a great Birthday or other special holiday gift for someone! It is never too soon to think ahead and get someone something they may really like!! This starts reasonably with ABSOLUTELY so offer early and don\'t miss out! These are getting to be hard to find in any condition and to my knowledge, have not been reproduced.

*Sold as is simply because it is used. I try my very best to describe as accurately as possible and disclose anything I am aware of about the bike. PLEASE NOTE that many of the bikes I list have listed have been in long term storage and have not been regularly ridden in a while.(not a bad thing) They may need standard tuning, greasing, may have old tires, surface rust etc. I try to be as honest as possible and never want to disappoint anyone. If you have any questions regarding any specific things concerning the bike, please feel feel to ASK via emali before you offer. Keep in mind you are offerding on a 30+ year old bike that is not a brand new bicycle so it may need minor tuning, cables or cable adjustment, if tires are original, they may or may not have sidewall cracks, etc. I try to be as honest as I can and disclose anything I know about the bike. I want you to be happy with your new vintage purchase but please understand the bike may need some tlc to be road ready.

*By offerding please understand that you are purchasing a used bicycle that may or may not need tlc. If I notice an issue, I always try to note it in the sale listing. I want you to be excited about your new bike and hope you really enjoy your new vintage ride for years to come. Be sure to check out all pics and email with any questions you may have before you offer regarding condition, mechanical items, etc.

*NOTE REGARDING SHIPPING YOUR BIKE Your bike will be partially disassembled and shipped to you in a factory bicycle box. We try our best to package the bicycles carefully to avoid any unnecessary damage caused in transit however, scratches etc are possible to happen in transit which we have no control over once shipped. We try to package well so the bike arrives to you in the same condition as it left us.

*SHIPPING COSTS: Fed Ex, USPS, as well as UPS have recently raised their shipping rates due to the higher cost of fuel. Sorry for the slight increase in shipping costs.

*PLEASE NOTE, I WILL NO LONGER BE SHIPPING FULL SIZE BIKES OUTSIDE OF THE USA. This is due to the high cost of shipping and customs. If you are anywhere outside the lower 48 States including Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico contact me before you offer as shipping will cost more. Fed Ex just increased the rates. I can ship to AK, HI, or PR for approx $159.95. This is a 10+ day service and includes packing. This i the best deal I can get to ship to these locations. Please do not offer if this is unacceptable. I always try to keep things as reasonable as I can. If you have a friend or family member in the lower 48 states, I can ship to them for the amount stated in the listing. THANK YOU!
