1937 Rollfast 26
1937 Rollfast 26
Classic 70's style 26" cruiser
Realllly old school. A 70+ year old straightbar Rollfast frame (Oct. 1937) given the BMX treatment with a Wald fork, Ashtabula headset, Uni hammerhead seat, Sunshine front hub laced to Araya 7x, Shimano coaster rear laced to a generic chrome steel rim. Mid school redline 1pc cranks, wellgo pedals, poverty stem, and Mongoose bars. This is such a fun old bike. I'd been wanting a Cook Bros, Powerlite, etc. This is a much cheaper alternative, yet still authentic and arguably cooler. Looks almost identical to a 78-80 Powerlite.

SWEET!
1937???? That looks more like late 70s/early 80s geometry. I assume you know what it is, though 
"My Bikes" are mostly still in the project phase. I will update and add photos as the builds progress. Thanks.

Off the frickin' hook cool! Very impressive!
A "Squonk" is like a Mongoose only much harder to find...
