Can you provide info on this bicycle?

Looks like aluminum fenders; were the “Airman” bikes sold through Spiegel’s catalogs?

Fenders aluminum tank I believe is stainless

Wowzer, you just scored a good one. That tank could be stainless. Give it the magnet test to see.

Nice score!! Difficult bike to find with a stainless tank. Did the fenders turn out to be aluminum?

Yarrr !!

That perp is crying to be Garden-Shamed
all the way to the gates of Purgatory.

And after six-hundred and sixty-six months ...
he can be released .. to Singapore -- where
he gets his ass shaved and caned by an
internationally-known tennis-pro.

Of course you know I mean this in a good way.

I know to the uninitiated that bike looks like a hot mess destined to be relegated to the flowerbed but back in the day it was a magnificent specimen of industrial design and engineering. The fuzzy nutted little fellow that sat upon it must have cut a wide swath through the neighborhood as he breezed by. With a little TLC, an OA bath and a couple replacement parts it can ride with glory again. I have seen WAY worse brought back to life.
