Looks like a Whizzer to me. It's not in very great condition, but would make a great restoration project if that's what you bought it for.

What is considered a "rat" bike? The reason I ask is this. I'm working on motorizing a 1956 Roadmaster boys' frame. Now, I'm building from a completely care frame, no original parts I know of, save possibly the French seat post and headset bearing cups, though not sure at all. I'm using parts...

Looking for a used 24" x 2.125" (balloon tire) rim only (no spokes or hub) for around $15 shipped. I can pay through PayPal (I don't do money orders, sorry). If you have a complete wheel and want to ship it cheap, that's fine but I'm not paying extra because I don't have it. I'm not looking for...

I'm happy to report that the fender washers work and look great. They completely hide the dropouts, so you can't even see the unevenness where the previous owner hacked at them. I'm using a total of 4 fender washers, one on the inside and one on the outside of both dropouts.

I am in the process of building a completely custom (some pre-fabricated parts, but this is not a kit bike) 1956 Roadmaster motorized bicycle. Here are the particulars. Frame: 1956 Roadmaster boys' frame Fork: Suzuki K10 hydraulic forks of unknown year Handlebars: Bikemaster chrome...

That's no problem, misunderstandings do happen. This is the Internet, after all :) allow me to share some more particulars of the build. The forks: Suzuki K10 hydraulic triple trees with 1" threaded steerer tube. Got em for a steal on ebay when a seller was liquidating a shed full of them...

Your post sounds a little bit to me as if I've perturbed you in some way. Since I clearly stated that I wasn't asking for a monetary value, most of your reply is irrelevant. What I am basically asking is, does the frame still hold integrity as a vintage/antique item? Nothing to do with monetary...

I don't believe the dropouts to be structurally weak, they're just a bit wider than they should be. I plan on using fender washers to make sure the dropouts don't tighten down onto the locknuts.

Okay, forget about the collectors value. Let me put it another way. Let's say you got the frame for a very fair price. In this instance, I traded some used parts for it, the value of the parts when new was about $80, used I'd say $50 or less. So in that situation, would you be proud to own this...

I have a 1956 Roadmaster "boys" frame, which I am in the process of motorizing. This frame was previously motorized, and the previous owner made some very "unprofessional" modifications to the frame. He wanted his axle to slide further back in the dropouts, so he took a dremel (the horror!) and...
