What year is my Rollfast?

[Shawn Michael]

I just found this complete Rollfast bicycle and would like to know the year. The serial number is on the bottom bracket "14-SN 18 315".Its all original as far as I can tell. I will include more pictures later. These are just teasers for now. It may be a 1941, please let me know what you think.

I think your right on the year being 41 going by the serial, hard to tell but it looks like a tall frame.

Yes 1941.. the accompanying two letters are the manufacturing location, off the top of my head not sure where that is. Nice bike.

Thanks! I will post more photos tomorrow. I was going to also post it in Sundays show and tell. The horn works on it. I haven't checked out the two lights yet.

Wow! That is a beautiful bike. You really scored well. I can’t wait to see more! Thanks Shawn…

I have a Rollfast catalog. Yours is model V-600 Super Deluxe. I’m trying to find the manufacturing code; I think SN is Little Falls NY. That is one incredibly well preserved bike. It came with either a Morrow or ND coaster brake, which does yours have?

This one has the New Departures hubs.

Cool to see spring forks on these. I believe Rollfast first offered them as an accessory in 1939. Beautiful bicycle!
