Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Man, that's a beautiful bike. I'd guess '32-34ish. It likely didn't originally come with a guard, so that's an easy fix. Stem seems right to me, it's Rollfast equipment but I don't know when it first appeared. Pedals may be a few years later, as well as the seat, but I'm not confident about either. Minor criticisms, if any, on this one for sure. Enjoy!

Thanks Paul.
Any idea of the year and or model? What stem is correct? The rims and tires look to be to early?!?

Looks to be an HP Snyder built bike. I have no idea what era Comet 6 pedals would be from. At first glance, I assumed they were your everyday Meteor 3s. At any rate, I'd say pull the guard for now and call it good until it can be confirmed if any other parts are amiss. I agree that the stem is more often associated with later prewar ballooners, but I don't know how early it was introduced. Even then, minor.

Great bike! I would say 33-34 for a year and the only things I see that are not correct for sure are the chainguard and solid tires. I would leave the rest of the bike alone parts wise. Here is a example of your bike circa 1930 with the earlier style tank.

1934 Rollfast
That's a nice bike. I'm not an expert, but all appears to be correct except for the added chainguard.
Below are some pictures of the 1934 Rollfast built bike I recently bought.
Mine is a Rollfast bike badged as a Royal Flyer.
If your rims are the same steel clad wood rims, then they too are correct, and they
would have had singletube tires on them
I bought this bike three months ago for the very fair price of $200.00
Good luck with your new bike.............................Wayne

Nice!
WoW! Awesome buy at $200. Are you going to clean it up and get it rideable? I plan to do that but I don't want to drop crazy money on a rim set. The tires on it are reproduction solid rubber tires that ride like crap. The good part is that the rims are true. I need to figure out what's cheaper. To go with a whole new modern tire and rim set or try n find a tire that will fit the clad rims. Dilemmas dilemmas.
