The Cleveland Welding Company, makers of Roadmaster bicycles, like other bicycle manufacturers made bikes for many different retailers. Often these bikes had very little differences between brands, but there were exceptions. The Cleveland Welding Company was not known for creating the best quality bicycles, but they did make a few models that are highly sought after by collectors. Most notable is the 1937 Roadmaster Supreme, with its bug-eye looking horn tank that has built in twin headlights, locking fork, rubber cusioned gooseneck, and other unique features. From the post World War II era, Roadmaster was responsible for the flashy Roadmaster Luxury Liner.

Roadmaster manufactured two wheeled bicycles and children’s vehicles, sidewalk bikes, pedal cars, ride-on toys, tricycles, garden tractors, wagons and playground equipment. In the 1970’s as other types of bikes became popular, Roadmaster manufactured BMX bicycles, mopeds and stationary bicycles.
One of the brand’s most famous moments was when it was featured in the 1979 film, Breaking Away, in which identical Roadmaster track bicycles were used by competitors in the yearly iconic Little 500 bicycle race at the University of Indiana Bloomington.
After two decades of growth AMF started to struggle with management, profitability, and product quality issues and in 1983, AMF sold the assets to a group of employees who later in 1987 sold the company to a business investment group.
