Roadmaster Luxury Liner Reproduction...just got it

[49autocycledeluxe]

still not as good as the Phantom repo as far as accuracy. V/r Shawn

I don't know enough about them as far as accuracy goes. I also have another buddy with the green one, which reminds me of a 70's Huffy as far as quality.

 

[HARPO]

you forgot about this one. these are very high quality, my buddy has one. from the late 90's I believe.

Yes, I forgot about this one! Well, if I find one for the right price locally...

I picked up this pair last November. They’d been on Craigslist awhile, the guy lowered the prices to 400 (F9) and 350 (LL). I finally went to look at them just out of curiosity, I was the only one to show up to see them. The guy had inherited them and had no interest in them. I was kinda interested in the F9 and he said he would take 325. I decided to pass and was gonna leave but he made me a ridiculously low offer if I took both. So I did. Neither look to have been ridden, the F9 has 1/2 mile on the odometer. Since it was late November I only gave each a short ride. They’re nicer than I thought. I’m relacing New Departure hubs into the F9 wheels. I was surprised to see that the spokes were double butted. I’m also replacing the crank arm. The LL wheels are really generic with straight spokes but are a heavier gauge. I also have to shim the LL seat as well. I also think the LL will look better with some different tires, the originals are a smaller profile. Much smaller balloon tire than most. Probably put some chain treads on it. I’ll give them a ride in the spring.

Nice pair mate. I find the crank on the F9 bends easily when you stand on the pedals.

You should maybe consider replacing the Roadmaster tires with the wide whites on the Columbia as i have several sets of the Superb tires on they ride as nice as any others tires and they would pop more than the Chains.. Good luck and RideOnn.. Razin..

Yes, they are good tires. 65psi too I believe.

Also another great choice are the 65psi white wall electra retrorunners like these. High pressure but soft sidewalls so they ride smooth. The tires on this bike are quite old and have yellowed a little (which is how i like them).

My stripped down superb which a friend bought as a frame and I built up with some original parts. I have more original parts for it and will probably fit the tank and fenders one day. Nice riding bike.

Wow what a deal!!!

I somehow missed this thread and just found it. I also have one in excellent condition and looks like its never been ridden (till I bought it). My seat post is on tight but I torqued the heck out of it to lock up. I replaced the original tires cause one was bad . The lights and horn work and never had any batteries installed cause all the insides are bright and clean. I serviced the front hub and BB, not the coaster cause it works and brakes excellent. Pedaling is very smooth, the suspension is solid and quiet, and just a joy to ride.

Are those Columbia Superb wide bricks per chance? Love those tires.. I have several sets of these on some of my Balloooners and they are really great tires..
