1939 Spiegel Airman

[mrg]

Great bike!!, I have seen that tank on that bike and read something about how its the same as other Monarks (5 bar etc.) and maybe Phil, RMS 37 or someone commented here or somewhere years ago about them using a filler plate, and the airman version has a early square stock side stand.

I don't see anything to "restore" here. Add some lights if you want but is there really any way this can be improved?

Well, they sure are nice, but it sits now as it was sold, it's survived mechanics, kids, the crusher, and who knows what else, why not just leave it be

Love it! Sweet find! Interesting that it has a 5 bar tank. I wonder if that's how it was purchased
