Rollfast Help!

[Flying Zombie]

So about that Rollfast I was told I HAD to go back for

I need anything you can tell me about it, and its serial, which took a little eyeballing to make out.
Serial No. H330389 [With a "SE" in a circle stamped close by]

Heres the first shot home., after a little straightening of the fender braces and finding a fitting seat clamp bolt.

Thank you for the Accurate Guesstimate! [And for the Boost Photo in the Rollie tanks thread.] I read the boxier chainguards similar to mine began at 63, so I figured about the same, as some of the other aspects are too visibly early to be late 60's/early 70's.

Its a real shame about the company practically canning all that info., I wonder if someone bought out the outlets., like a closeout sale that included everything down to the shelving tacks.. Id be really happy to find someone came forward with all the shops catalogs on these. Even as a cheaper end bike, I have read so many reviews on these from here and other sites and no one who owns one seem to find them a bad ride. Im really happy with it visually, with a tank its gonna be spectacular. I like the way the top bars look between the rear fender and seat post., its a really interesting shape, and I think mine being fenderless at the moment really shows off those frame details.

Thanks Again, Adam!

Emory bought out the Rollfast tooling and stuff, so they might have had those clues (and buried them...)

Here's a couple of pics of my 1956 Snyder built Hawthorne.

I think these are one of the coolest frame designs, very nice how the tubes fit together and the frame seems to flow.

I like those bars., and you're right, that single bar behind the seatpost is really cool. I like how it all fits together, and that shade of green is awesome!

Yes, I would like to match it on a chainguard I want to install. Have to learn crustfication methods to get it to match up. Must be the 40+ years of barn aging that gives it that glow. Another thing I like about the paint is the white trim paint is bordered with orange pinstripe.
