Happy Birthday to ME! (outdoor Roadmaster pics)

[JoeyMac]

It was my birthday last week and I had a rental car and was travelling all over upstate NY, and here is what I brought home with me, while it was still in the car (I will post better pics later, this is all you get for now )

trunk full of Roadmaster:

and a backseat full of Stingray:

shocking abuse of rental privileges...

Roadmaster appears to be late 50's early 60's, and I believe both of the Stingrays are '70, I will take a closer look later, and post better pictures.

Stay tuned!

Re: Happy Birthday to ME!

Here are some pics I shot this morning after I had unloaded the bikes and returned the rental car. I haven't gotten a chance to clean them up at all yet, just put the wheels back on. Better pics later.
the Roadmaster, in the living room:

and the Stingrays, in my bedroom:

the Fastback should clean up real nice, and it's all original... might need a new seat though.

Also finally got a headbadge for my Silver Bullet, from Kevin (NecessaryEvil).

Now it's almost complete... Thanks again Kevin!

More pics later

Looks like you're going to have to rent an apartment soon so you will have a place to sleep. :lol:

That Roadmaster is cool especially with the scary devil sticker. I am surprised you didn't come home with another Spaceliner.

I got the Stingrays cleaned up a little bit, made ridable:

I think I want to replace the seats at some point, those don't look ratty, they just look gross.

Slik comparison... easy to see why the fastback is so fast. The smaller rear cog must help too.

riding blue... the back wheel is really wobbly...

riding green... rides smoother, but feels sluggish.

the Fastback is a 1969, and appears to be all original down to the tires and grips. The back wheel is really beat up though.

the green Stingray is 1970 (3 months apart from my Silver Bullet, also originally campus-green).
Mostly original, missing fenders, 3-speed stickshift set up, and probably brakes too. I kinda like it the way it is though.

They both need new grease and a more thorough cleaning, but I am going to leave them alone for now.

I will be cleaning up the roadmaster soon I hope, so I can ride it before the snow starts to fall.

Cleaned up the Roadmaster a bit to ride it around the hood and take some nice pics.

ok, so these photos are a couple weeks old.

Your sting-ray is not missing fenders. The shick shift 3 speed did not come with fenders unless it said deluxe on the chainguard. The fastback looks like it has nice paint. Nice finds
