I just purchased a new bike on "Tankless Tuesday"its a 1935 Shapleigh Hardware Co. I think I paid too much for the bike but the speed o made up for it.
My 1935 Schwinn B 1 1/2, NOS and found on display in Rowlett's bike shop Richmond, VA 4 years ago.
Sadly, after over 90 years in operation, Rowlett's closed its doors a final time and with it a chapter of local history, but not before the owner allowed me warehouse access to buy many artifacts long forgotten.
Oddly, not a part of the First American Balloon Tire article, probably overlooked without a tank although most bicycles of the period were not equipped with tanks.
