Restoring a 1947 CWC ROADMASTER Bicycle. Reassembled again after Several Years!

In this video I will take an antique “Roadmaster” bicycle, mfd by the Cleveland Welding Company in 1947, and give it a full restoration and repaint.
I got the bike as a pile of parts, completely disassembled, and incomplete. With the help of some temporary donor parts, I will reassemble the entire bike after several years of being apart.
Lots of work and a few obstacles along the way, tune in for the whole restoration process and wait till the end to see the final results.
I didn’t intend for such a long video, so sorry about that, but thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy!
