Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Based on the two prewar road master frames I have I'm guessing it was not only allowed but encouraged. I wasted an evening and a frame trying to fix some wacked out rear triangle alignment issues that could have only been welded in at that factory. When I gave up in disgust I examined the other frame I had and found it to be ef'ed up in much the same way. I can post some pictures later but you don't need a "good eye" to see how poorly these frames were welded up. I know the bar for build quality is set pretty low on some of these balloon tired bikes but based on what I've seen I'm ready to hand the prize for most craptasic frame construction to Road Master.
