Ok,
The restoration/resurrection of the 1938 Roadmaster Supreme, model, 2226 is done!
Yay!
Many thanks, to; Keith “Kid” Dean, and Tom Clark for the paint expertise.
You guys are amazing!
Santi, Cordoba for providing the original 1938 RMS frame.
Gus Salmon Decals.
Big huge thanks to Jaf/Co, Jim Frazier for just about everything else.
Literally could not have done this without your help.
My appreciation goes out to all you CWC nuts.
Your knowledge and inspiration is contagious.
So, Thank you all!
This frame had just enough original paint left on it, that I could see that it had originally been the unequipped version of the 38 Roadmaster Supreme.
So, that helped me make the decision, not to try and track down the tank, lights etc.
In keeping with the made in Cleveland theme, I decided to go with the Musselman hubset.
Big thanks to Scott Alison for his amazing saddle work.
Your craftsmanship is astounding!
I debated whether or not to decal the frame, but after I saw the fine quality of the Gus Salmon decals, I couldn’t resist the temptation.
His work is incredible!
Thanks, Gus!
So, here it is!
It’s like I’ve just travelled back in time, and went to Gordon Cycle & Supply Company, in Cleveland, Ohio, and bought a brand new, 1938 Roadmaster Supreme.
Oh, yeah!
