Today I salvaged an old AMF Roadmaster Javelin from a basement prior to it being thrown in the trash. It's maybe 80% original. Someone repainted it badly, making IDing it harder.
I'm hoping some of you may be able to assist me in finding the year of manufacture and the value.
The bike is a girls junior cruiser with 24" wheels.
It has a standard, non-skip tooth sprocket.
For some reason everything except the "head" decal (which is not on the head tube, but instead the top front of the "gas tank" above the stamped fake headlamps) was painted over. This decal is triangular and says, "Roadmaster AMF".
The only decals I can see through the paint are on the tank, where the word "Javelin" and what looks like the Olympic rings are plainly visible.
The serial # is (or appears to be through too much paint) J31273
It has a white rubber seat, molded very nicely to resemble leather. Its footbrake is stamped "Perry B100 England"
Its tires are matching, dry rotted and unbranded, making me think they are original.
Here are some pictures:
Thank you
