Dayton Huffman

[oldmtrcyc]

Any thoughts on year or model? Says Airflite on tank. I wish it were a twin flex. I think the paint will come back a bit. Missing the reflector in the carrier. If you have one, please let me know!

I want to say 1940 because of the welded on kickstand. I would say Airflyte big lit tank, very cool bike!

Great score.....I'd walk right past a Twin Flex to get to that one.

Yep 1940. I would like to see a pic of the chain guard side. Also the serial number and there should be two or three numbers on the back of the fork crown which will nail down the month. Nice bike V/r Shawn

Yeah!
That’s a great bike!
I too prefer the look of the “Big Tank” Huffmans without the “Single or Twin Flex” springers.
That one even has the trim inserts on the side of the tank.
I’m guessing there’s also one on the chain guard.
That is a seldom seen feature which makes this one pretty unique.
I’ve got a 1940 ladies model Airflyte that also has those stainless insert strips.
My mens model 1940 Dayton doesn’t have the stainless inserts.
So, maybe an Airflyte specific feature?

I have to say that is one keen bike. I like it better than those flexy! bikes

BTW this is NOT a Dayton Huffman. It is a Huffman built Airflyte. V/r Shawn

They repop the tailight and guts.
