She's built by Rollfast, if you plan on getting it back to original you've got a lot of parts to collect. But they aren't to hard to come by especially on here.

Thank you, I have the fenders and chain guard... any idea as to year?
 
Not really man, but I want to say 50's, definitely postwar because of the rear dropouts facing forward. There are quite a few people on here that are very knowledgeable.

Bike was produced by Snyder in Little Falls New York. Postwar agreed. Like to see a close-up with detail of the sun racer badge. Let's also see some other sun racer badged bikes for comparison. I seem tp recall other make bikes badged as sun racer. That may give some clues that would indicate a particular store/geographical area. The Rollfast chainring looks like ladies tooth count imo not og. All Rollfast badged bikes were made by Snyder but Snyder produced and badged bikes for many other stores & mail order sellers.

There are your answers this bike was not Rollfast badged.

Sun Racer is the house badge of this store, I feel they likely jobbed from several other bike manufacturers.

Other members please post up your non-Snyder built Sun Racer badged bikes and solve this simple riddle.

I have the bike apart but dont see any numbers (serial #) on the frame. Crank in the middle between bearings says WALD.
Above comments say Roll Fast which the pedals do say Roll Fast, nothing else except the badge is a SunRacer. Any other ideas where to find markings of any kind?
