Were these available with the painted tubes originally? It’s a great look! Kind of channels the Vitus frames from the’80s.

There are other catalog pics describing them as imported dyes and available on not just the M1 Deluxe version. I've seen original green remnants on an old survivor I had (& sold) and a red ladies version was briefly on American Pickers show in the background for 2 seconds. It looked like anodized aluminum but not sure of the actual process used.

Does anyone have a 1935 camel back bicycle or a 1935 silverking race bike? If you do please post. I have never seen one.

There was a post here on the Cabe a few months back about a Silverking race bike that had been acquired.

We had both... for many years. Had them before anyone was collecting Silver Kings. Both of these Silver Kings were stolen about 22 years ago out of a locked metal shipping container in Southern California. We and the authorities are STILL looking for them. I can assure you.
