Bicycle Information
Need information about a roadmaster bicycle that has the nameTrexel located on the back of the seat.?
Was told it’s a collector’s item but do not know if this is true or not. The bike is in mint condition and I would like to know if anybody out there can help me get more information on this bike.
silverbullet and MR are correct in the name of the saddle but, unfortunately, nothing else.
Roadmaster is owned by Pacific Cycle- the same people that own Schwinn, GT, and Mongoose.
If the saddle on your bike is original then it was made somewhere between 1956 and 1977. If the bike has a red triangle on it (usually on the chainguard) it was made by AMF who purchased the brand about 1968. 1956 to 1968 it was owned by a company that made steel tubing (name escapes me) and it should have a decal on the frame of a “strongman” lifting weights… look closely, the decal may be badly degraded.
Regardless of the year, however, the Roadmaster brand is not usually too attractive to collectors even though they are nice riding and quite attractive. Right about 1999 they were purchased by Brunswick who made a couple of reissue Roadmaster models (they were made using the original tooling) and look EXACTLY the same as the originals right down to the spoke nipples. These are still readily available for under $500 brand new. The only way to tell is that the frame is tig welded (a weld is apparent all aroung the tube joints) and that the serial number is stamped under the bottom bracket- under the crank.
Mint condition in the bicycle world means unridden with all paperwork and decals intact. If you have this stuff the age identification should pose no problem, and value if it is an old one might be about $500. If it is in very good condition (all original with no degrade- but no paperwork) then it’s value might go down to about $250.
Bikes are VERY sensitive to originality when it comes to price.
