Finally riding a big boys bike
Hello.
I've heard mixed things on this issue but my research shows that starting in 1936 the Cycleplanes had a standard six hole rack, not the Aerocycle round rack found on earlier Cycleplanes. Look at the page scans of my 1936 catalog showing the Cycleplane De Luxe, model BA407 with the standard 6 hole rack. It also mentions that the only difference between the Cycleplane and the Motorbike is the fore wheel brake and the larger Stimsonite rear reflector, both of which my bike has always had.
I know the pictures shown in the catalogs are a bit off at times, but it seems like they would have mentioned the different rear rack also in this ad.
Just trying to nail this down as I believe my bike is a Cycleplane De Luxe and not a Motorbike De Luxe.
Your thoughts and comments are welcome and invited.
Thank you.
