Rollfast perhaps?

[shwsrvcs]

I found this in a ad on Craigslist today and will be meeting the guy who is selling this bike on Monday afternoon..

based on the chainguard and skiptooth chainring style... I think it's a Rollfast, perhaps from 1939?

but i'm wondering if any one else might have some insight?

what would a good price to pay on it be?
also... go full restore or patina?

Based on what I can see definitely Rollfast, but hard to tell you anything else

right on. I am basing my guesstimate from a link i was able to surf to on the world wide web. The pics on that one match up with some of this one... like the chainguard and chainring (kinda). It was another forum that the information came from, classic and antique bicycle exchange, but it was only speculation on the part of the poster on the year... they weren't very helpful on filling in any more details on it for him however...

so I thought I checked here before going and buying it on Monday. he has it posted for $40, which is kind of a great price.

40 sounds good if it's all there. Depending on how it cleans up, patina would be the first choice.

Heck, if it has one good wheel and original pedals it's worth 40.

I got this to start with.
Looks like all oriiginal parts were included and even got extras,

a Columbia chainwheel and a rear rim with a bendix original model.
