Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
I'm just curious, what are the rarest prewar ballooner bicycles out there? How many do we think are out there? Add a picture please.
 
'38 Bluebirds

Only 21 known 1938 Bluebirds on Nick's registry- 15 complete with tanks, 6 bare frames or converted into Robins. Of the complete bikes, 3 are Deluxe models, 12 are Standard models.

There are a bunch of 'rare' pre war bikes. unfortunately about 90% of those aren't worth a lot of money e.g. first year girls Huffman ballooner. The rare and desirable bikes are the ones most collectors know e.g. Blue Bird, Speedline, Aerocycle, etc.... V/r Shawn
 
This bike isn't prewar but how many true 1946 deluxe BA107s have you seen? Long time schwinn guy says he has seen maybe 3.... I'm with shawn... rare vs desirable/rare are two different things...
 
How about the Alexander Rocket?
It could be called ugly as Jason sez, but I think it's beautiful, and there aren't many around...less than each of: Bluebird 1 & 2, Aerocycle, and Speedline?
I've never cared for the Aerocycle: I see a streamlined tank attached to an angular motorbike.
For me, CF is increased by rarity, not mass-appeal.
