I picked this up over the weekend, in part because it was in nice shape and cheap, but mostly because it's identical except color to the bike my father bought (still has) when I was a kid. It has a 3-speed hub, 26x1-3/8 tires. It needs a little clean up and new tires. I just bought a pair of creme Schwalbe Delta Cruisers for it.
The question I have is regarding the serial number. I haven't found any centralized reference to look up an AMF Roadmaster number. This is one area that it differs from my dad's bike - the serial in on the head tube. On his, its down on the left dropout, like it is on an older Roadmaster cantilever frame I have.
Does anyone have a way to date a Roadmaster from the serial? Or does anyone at least know when the serial was moved to the head tube?
