I do have a variety of vintage 50's balloon tires (Lightning Darts, Goodyear, Allstate, B.F. Goodrich etc), I've just been riding the bike on the newer tires for now. As I mentioned in the original post I'm looking for some blackwall US Royal Super Riders, they were a race sponsor. Has anyone...

Nice K-Mart Roadmaster! Mine is an ugly shade of 70's metallic brown, but it get's me around town. I've got more pics in my 1960 Little 500 thread. I didn't have much problem finding the rear coater brake wheel.

JoeyMac thanks for posting the pics. PM me with an e-mail address and I can share with you some photoshop info. Roadmaster, I'm curious what makes you think this frame is earlier? I've been looking for catalogs/ads from 1959 and 1960 for Luxury Liners and Flying Falcons without a great deal of...

Joey Mac, I am shooting with a Nikon D80, not film. Though I do process my images through Photoshop using a variety of cross-process and Lomo actions, curves, scripts etc. Many are available for free, if you are photoshop savvy? I'm a graphic designer and I also shoot a fair amount of projects...

Since you mentioned "The Cutters" I figured I'd post pics of my 70's era Cutters bike. The Roadmasters they raced in the 1970's (the Breaking Away era) are quite easy to find on Craigslist, as they often are badged as K-Mart. So while I was collecting parts for my 1960 bike I threw together this...

Here's some pics of my 1960 Little 500 Roadmaster. My dad was a team captain in the 1960 Little 500 race (it's the race featured in the movie Breaking Away at Indiana University). He passed away a few years ago, so I thought it might be fun to make sort of a rolling memorial. About 80% of the...

Roadmaster, Just curious, what make/model did you recently put on your Roadmaster? If I can't find these exact ones I'm looking for a similar square almost slik profile. I bid on some Goodyear's and Uniroyal Master's on ebay that were somewhat similar.

I need help identifying the model/make of the vintage 1950's balloon tires on this Schwinn. Are they Uniroyal's? Any help is appreciated! Does anyone have a set of these tires or a similar set they'd be willing to sell? Thanks!

From about 1950 through the late 60's the Little 500 bike race at Indiana University raced balloon tire Schwinn's for the first couple of years, then Roadmaster's. Here's a photo from the 1950's to give you an idea of the inspiration behind these bikes I'm building. I'm still working on my...

These are my current daily riders. The inspiration for the "Green Machine" is the early balloon tire Roadmaster racers that my father rode in the Little 500, with a few 80's BMX touches. The 70's AMF was a K-Mart 3-speed converted to coaster brake, similar setup as the AMF Roadmaster from...
