Monark Airman Recent Find

Should this be in the bikes for sale section with a price? Come on Hal where are you on this.

Would save some drama if he just took it to Memory Lane next week and paraded it around.

But then that would rule out other potential buyers...

Thank

A friend of mine recently purchased this very nice Monark Airman that looks to have an unusual rear suspension. The tires hold air and he took it for a ride. I have not been able to find any information for him. Please tell me your observations and share your knowledge.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for all the comments, information, opinions, and emails. There are lots of people wanting to know when it’s going to be for sale. For those of you watching it closely you know that the owner is going back to the house where he bought it and hopefully find the lights. The plan is for that to happen this weekend. Once that avenue has been exhausted the bike will be posted in the for sale section.

Notes on the Airman Comet | Classic Balloon Tire Bicycles 1933-1965

I probably really should update my Five Bar Article. I have continued to study these bikes and have picked up a few things along the way that should be added. One thing that I have learned a lot more about is the Airman Comet. This is one of those bikes that, for a long time, existed only on a...

My friend returned to the house where he bought it with no luck finding the missing headlights. He did however buy some NOS bicycle parts so it was worth the trip. He has decided on an asking price. I will place a for sale ad this weekend. Unfortunately right now I have gutters to clean.
