Generally looks like a 1930’s motorbike; the collet type seat post clamp may indicate 1936.
The McCauley #1001 tall tank (toolbox) also middle 30’s.
Chrome fenders may have appeared about that time; (Rollfast may have had the first chromium bicycle in the world).

Does it have an alpha numeric serial number on the bottom bracket?

 

[Flathead31Coupe]

it has an x-32 65 4

so not mid 20s ? iam still liking it.... i still want to find the right light and horn that might have went on it

“X” is consistent with 1936; might be one of the last 28-inch bikes that Rollfast sold.

anyway of finding out the exact year?

[/QUOTE looking at the rear rack where it mounts to the frame doesnt look right....thoughts or pics of the correct bracket clamp

the rack itself has two holes in it this is using one bolt and nut clamp
