[bud poe]

Well, it hurts but I gotta put this old relic on the market. A true rare piece of Americana bordering on folk art. A 1941-42 ish Cleveland Welding (as ID'd by Phil Marshall) RoadMaster Ski bike...This was customized in the 70's, could be salvaged but probably much cooler as is....
Asking $300 plus shipping, PM or email me directly @ [email protected] with interest, thanks!

I made one of these a few years ago from a bmx bike, the fronts of two skis, and skateboard trucks. Both skis pivot so it works great on uneven surfaces. Of course we tested it past its limits and the front got broken, but its limits were high. We seriously put this thing through the wringer for two winters.

Thats cool! Great idea with the skateboard truck! Sure you don't need the pre war version?

No, to my knowledge it came from a barn or shed in Oregon...Have you seen one before?

Thanks! Yeah it's a great piece, I have always wondered if you wear ski's when you ride or try to wear boots for breaks....Either way you'd better hold on tight!
