1935 Schwinn AEROCYCLE Prewar Motorbike Bicycle Bike / DELTA Gangway Horn / Silver & Red Beautifully Restored by the Best In Calif.Bike was restored back in the late 80’s. Saddle was restored as seen in the photos. Bike was found in Champlain Illinois.As seen in photos we are missing the rear tail light. I have an original glass lens for that rear tail light in the tank, and was just contacted by the person who finally has in is hand the chrome housing unit that the lens came from ( Loooong Story) .If you have ever restored a bike you know how much money and time it takes.To match the paint color and red saddle, I have original restored Torrington Pedals, Red Grips & Tires.
All vintage cloth wiring to complete the era look.I have owned 3 Aerocycles no 4 Aerocycles in my life time and this bike is different from all the others.It is a smaller frame that takes your standard 26″ tires. You can not tell at first glance, but after working on many bikes in 40 years, this little beauty is a bit smaller.I am sure that asking other owners over the years, that this might be the only one in this size. All I can say is that this bike is a beauty.This was my little project for many years, so it still needs that front lens, and I would re-plate the struts, but other than that this is the crown jewel in any collection. The only reason I am letting it go, is we have moved from our large house to a much smaller home. Time to let a few of my treasures go to someone else who will appreciate the history..Best of luck hunting on Ebay. I Added a picture of the inside of the tank and the little glass lens for the rear tail light housing as mentioned.
