1937 Roadmaster Supreme (Bug Eye)

[Freqman1]

Anybody know where I can pick up one of the repop tanks?

I was told by the guy that made them that he only made seven of them and they differ from the originals slightly. I believe JAFCO does make a first quality fiberglass tank but you would have to fabricate the innards. V/r Shawn

37 Stalker....

The blue one is the same one... The last green restored one i was told is a rero... I think there is under 10 real 37 RMS around.

Right now I can count eight different bikes that I can assign owners to with the exception of the blue/cream Copake bike. I know of a couple of others but the info is too sketchy to include. If anyone knows of any real 1937 RMS I would be happy to add them to the list. Here is the list (-) owners names except mine. I will check with the owners of the other bikes I know of to see if they mind me publishing their names to help us track these bikes. V/r Shawn

4. Blue/cream/original-Copake 2007 Lot 98 realized $13k

Number 8 has a repro tank.

I think there is only about 10 of these REAL 37 RMS left.... If there is more lets see them...lol

Doing a little more fine tuning on the RMS. I changed out the Hawthorne chain ring to the correct one and painted the head badge last night--made a big difference visually to the front of the bike. I also had to go back through both hubs--the rear locked up about a mile from the house last night and I had to carry the bike back home. Everything is good for now but I will probably tear it down in a couple of years to correct the paint scheme. V/r Shawn

Awesome bike!!!!!!!!Shame about the rear hub 1 mile out....I seriously heard you can call AAA if you "break down" on a bicycle!

What a beauty, in so many ways. It looks very light & ready to go, but still has all the toys, whistles, deco & Tank lights. A real piece of rolling sculpture.
