I gave it to my father now hes got the bike bug ... this is what it looks like after he cleaned it up
and put on a new set of white walls

the name badge is missing but after a bit of scubbing and scrapping we now know it was oval and off centered

any help would be great thanks ... Jason
 
thats not a sprocket design ya see everyday, cant help you on the id but the double diamond pattern on the seat tube looks familiar. time to stare at some bike pics !!!
 
Do you think the wheels are original? That rear sprocket looks like elgin or muscleman.
 
rear hubs a Morrow .. i think it maybe original but hard to say really... love the way this old bugger rides though hoping my old man leaves it like this, but he keeps telling me how he likes to have color and a shine ... so it may end up getting refininsh be him... :( either way i am just glad he likes it
 
I'm positive it's a cleveland welding frame, you should talk to the guys at THECABE.COM, maybe they can help.
 
the paint sorta reminds me of a zep but who knows. all i do know is i would not touch it i love it .
 
(-sigh-)..... why are the headbadges always gone?!?
 
ohhhhhhhhh! this hurts! i know the paint job i just cant place it now :x
im pretty sure its a mid 30's rollfast(not 100% right now though.......if i think of it for sure or find a link ill post it!)
