1950’s Rollfast middleweight

This is a great example of a transition-bike. During the mid to late 1950’s when manufacturers were switching from primarily offering balloon tire bikes, to those with narrower middleweight tires, they often changed nothing more than the width of the fenders and the tires. This bike shows balloon tire styling, but with middleweight wheels. Looks a bit odd, but this is how they made them!
