Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Ok, this is very relevant to a bike I just took possession of and am attempting to clean up.
WHEN did the 26" balloon clincher 1st come out? I say this because of this Nov, 1933 Colson Motorbike score. As found below...not all orig.
.
This 26" wheelset was original to this bike, and it sports the "new" lobdell clincher style for tube/tire combo. Lobdel made it available in 1933 for both size wheels I believe. Below are the original hub shells and rims cleaned up and awaiting repair.
