Let's see your 28"(High Pressure) Ballooner style bikes!

[fordmike65]

I know Colson offered a "High Pressure" option at least into '37 when most manufacturers had already switched over to 26" ballooners. I'm curious if others had this option as well? Please post up any ballooner type bikes that came factory with 28" singletubes. Mike

Hey Mike, I don't know much about these bikes, but sure do love the looks of these bikes. P.S. Also love the 1964 Ford Fairlane Sport coupe. Is this a 260 or 289? Just LOVE the Baby Fairlanes from the mid 60's. My first car was a 69 fairlane two door hard top black over maroon with a 302. Sure miss that car. Razin.

Originally came with a 260. It now has a carbed roller 5.0, AOD, disk brakes, wider drums ,beefy sway bar & 3.25 gears. Nothing too crazy. Just a decent daily driver.

Anyone...Bueller?

Is there any chance this '36 Schwinn could have come with raingutters & 28" singletubes?

The pressure is just too high to play on this thread... This is the best I can do, a 1942, and a 1944 Huffman civilian war bicycles.

Are these 28"er's? They appear to be 26" to me. Correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks and Ride On. Razin.

Thinking they are 28's...but lightweights. Hoping there are other ballooner-style bikes out there factory optioned with 28''...or even 27" wheels

I remember seeing a thread about an early c-model schwinn that was a 28” so I’m sure that it’s possible that the schwinn on the thread could be
