~~Luxury Liner Board Tracker~~

[yeshoney]

Not sure why it took me so long to find this place. I see many names I recognize from other boards and many I don't. I hope you enjoy my bikes. They are classics with a twist. This is my later 50's AMF Roadmaster Luxury Liner. Done in a Boardtracker theme. The only modern day improvement is a Nexus internal 4 speed with roller brake. Other than that and the Schwinn Cruiser bars flipped upside down, it is all original. Oh yeah, it also has a Rollfast Top Drag sprocket, forgot that! Enjoy!

50's Roadmaster Luxury Liner

What a great job you did on the bike. I have an identical Roadmaster that was given to me on my birthday in 1957 and I am getting ready to restore it. Could you help with sources for parts? I am missing the rear fender and the tail light interior assembly. I appreciate any help at all. I have been a wooden boat restorer for 15 years but this is my first bicycle.

Help for parts....

Not sure if I can help you on parts. The bike you see was complete when i bought it. It wasn't taken apart and completely detailed etc. The most common parts to find are the springer front ends because they were used on a large span of years. The frames were shared with a few other badges (Hawthorne and Hiawatha I think). The model level varies with each bike. There is one on the auction site right now that I believe is a later model than mine that has a rear rack, but no light. It has what looks like prety decent fenders, but from a small pic it is hard to tell. Sk around for parts on message boards, here, Ratrodbikes.com , schwinn.com/heritage , oldroads.com and keep an eye out for them on ebay. They can get pricey, but if you have to have it to complete a project sometimes it is worth it. I have another Roadmaster that is missing the entire rear rack. It needs a chrome one which makes it that much harder to find. Email me if you need any thing further or want to check on parts. You never know when I might find a few parts here and there.
