1957 Roadmaster Jet Pilot

[Oilit]

I bought this off Ebay a few months back and finally went to get it this weekend. The man who had it has a pretty nice collection, but he's cutting back, and this was one of the few middleweights he had. He had a print out of a email from the seller he bought it from that claimed it was new old stock from a hardware store. Maybe or maybe not, but it's about as clean as you could ask for for a 64 year old bike.
Up state New York is pretty country in July - in January it might be harder to appreciate.

Once in a while one does find a great deal on eBay. That is a great looking bike and looks new too. Congrats.

I think the C at the end inidicates '59.

What would the G signify?

I believe the "G" is for 1957. @Adamtinkerer, I sympathize, but look again, it's not a "C".

A lot of people still overlook middleweights. Their loss!

Honestly MW's are my favorites.....It just looks like it needs a ball glove hanging from the handle bar.
