On Training Wheels
Hi first post.
I am newish collector and have 4 or 5 bikes in my collection that I have been restoring for the last couple years, but this one is my favorite. Its an AMF Saturn Roadmaster. The following pictures are of when I first got the bike, since then it has been broken down, wheels respoked, repacked and greased and it rides like a dream. I will later post my cleaned up photos. What the question is, is just what exactly is this bike. Not sure how to date it, The bike seems all original except for the rear rack (it doesn't look right) and it is missing the headlight on front bumper. I got serial numbers (L35724B) but that hasn't provided me with much info. The sprocket on the front is the star sprocket which lands it in a certain timeframe, and the seat post does not have a clamp (its a goose neck type - don't know the term) which seems to place it in a certain time also. All my info has been second hand post on other forums. The rear hub is a Perry b-100 I did find some nice articles on that when I repacked it.
So here is some pictures, let me know what you think and if you have any info on it. There is only a handful of images on the net of this bike and they are all pretty small. Most of the images you can find of it are mine and some youtube videos I did on it.
I have more videos and pictures of it on my website skullforest.com
Thanks for your time, Ric
