Been in my family since the 70's - Streamline Aerocycle

[catfish]

I've always heard that Lincoln Aerocycle, referred to, as the Hearst Aerocycle.
As in, William Randolph Hearst.
Does anyone know the story behind that bike.
One account I heard, was that it belonged to the gardener of the estate.
Any truth to that account, or is it just a super pristine unusual example and should only be valued as such?

Bad info. My bad.

A lot of these people who give crazy estimates are the same people who

Be very careful that is a rare bike worth 10k ya need a few small
Things but would be worth 10k when done don't paint it!!!! Barely clean it up lightly original paint is the most desirable and valuable .. grease it and ride it I love mine one of my best riding bikes . Ya can find the parts ya need there out there and worth the investment ...

What you would sell it for?

I wouldn't sell it if I had one. I'd pay $7500 tho. Lots of these "offers" are from people who prolly wouldn't spend that much on a bike. Not talking about Spence36, he's my bro and I'm just giving him a hard time because he paid way less for his.

All joking and poking aside I do agree with Marty's assessment of the bike. And wish the owner the best of luck with whatever he decides to do with the bike.
