Riding my '39 Silver King 26X
I saw this 30s Wards Air-Flow (same as SK Flo-Cycle) with a Troxel seat usually seen on Schwinn's Aerocycle; does anyone know if any of the 1930s Silver Kings - the M1, Flo Cycle, etc. would have ever come with this seat? What other bikes besides the Aerocycle would this seat be considered correct for, or came from the factory or dealer with?
I see most Silver Kings from that era with either the deluxe, airflow tool box Troxel, or the long spring Persons in most ads and catalog pages... it looks GREAT on this Flo Cycle, but I'm just curious how "correct" it is for the bike. Certainly from an era perspective it's correct, but I'd like to know your experience seeing this seat on other bikes from the factory or dealer?
I took this image from Ebay, if this is your bike I mean no disrespect, it's a very nice bike and I like the seat on it, but I'm just trying to learn here, I recently added some Silver Kings to my collection and wanting to get opinions from the great, knowledgeable folks here on the CABE.
