Finally riding a big boys bike
I would love to build an AeroClone one of these days if I can find the right parts.

Wore out three sets of tires already!
I just stumbled across this thread. The Aerocycle tail light is awesome. Never seen one like that before. Were these manufactured back in the day or a genius creation? Like a 5 year old, “I need, I need, I need
“

Genius creation.

Not unique to the Aerocycle. These could be ordered on a ‘35 Motorbike as well. Pretty sure all ‘35 rear fenders are drilled for the wire. The Schwinn guys will correct me if I’m wrong.

True that, Shawn.
But he is talking about the auxiliary tail light that Cliff made from and old Make-A-Lite kit tail light.
He mounted it underneath his Troxel, as seen in one of the photos earlier.
I think the lens in molded plastic, using the head light glass as a mold.
It’s pretty cool!
Be sure, and check it out.

I talked with Cliff about the bike over the weekend, and he did use the rear triangle from a ladies 34/35 frame for the Orange Aerocycle.
He said he made a jig from an original Aerocycle frame, so that all of the angles and dimensions would be identical.
He had to shorten the seat stays of the ladies frame, and then fabricate the front triangle in its entirety.
By using the ladies rear triangle, he got the correct serial number stamped bottom bracket.
