Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Hey everyone, Hope everybody got through the winter ok.
Picked up this Rollfast last year. It has been on the stand and ready to start work on for the last month. It came with the original tank and the hard to find carrier mounted tail light/ directional signals that included the frame mounted switch that is usually long missing from any 50's. kids bike.
The only thing missing was the headbadge. I found one[ pictured] and gladly paid the $25 . for it.
Couple of weeks ago I needed a curtain rod and being there was a goodwill next to the home center I figured maybe instead of spending 20 bucks at the home center I could find one at Goodwill resale for a couple bucks.
I did not find any curtain rods. I was about to leave when I spotted some handle bars sticking up with old black coke bottle grips on them. Next thing I see is the perfect "Rollfast" headbadge. They only wanted $20 for this 1950's exercycle. When I saw the "speedo" and the price tag..... BINGO!
They were very happy to get rid of it.....What were the chances of running into that? The really funny thing is it's going on over two weeks since I have brought this exercycle home and the wife has not noticed it!
