98 1937 Roadmaster Supreme boys bicycle
1937 Roadmaster Supreme boys bicycle.
There are a handful of bicycles from the
1930s that were conceived by noted
industrial designers and this is one of them.
Onnie Mankki, the Finnish industrial
designer is credited with creating this
outrageous streamlined bicycle and
receiving a patent for it in August of 1936.
This particular bike, manufactured by the
Cleveland Welding Company, Cleveland
Ohio, has very good original paint and the
chrome surfaces are in excellent condition.
The tires are made by Goodyear and say
"DeLuxe Rib" on the sidewall. The
gooseneck, which is unique to Roadmaster,
has beautiful art deco lines that match the
streamlining of the rest of the bike. The twin
lenses for the front lights have CWC
embossed into them to represent the
Cleveland Welding Company and the head
badge traces their shape in a very unique
way. This is one of a few bikes of this
model that retain the original paint and
