1939 Huffman Mfg. made Dayton Twin-Flex Ballooner Bicycle with Dual Suspension

I saw this on Ebay today and I had to share...this bike is so amazing. The seller has a nice write up and great detailed pics about this bicycle and the history of the 39' Huffman so it's fun to read too. If only I had an extra $4,800 to spend.

...I bet somebody on here has this bike or has worked on one.

Enjoy!

Yeah, I'm bumping this one! I'm no artist but this beautiful bike oozes gorgeous ArtDeco styling to it's full glory. Jim Felt needs to do one like this. I'd buy it!

funny because this bike is still for sale on ebay ... must be asking a little too much for this economy.

I dunno, bit in the Muncie Star/Press yesterday; 'Superman' comic book, 1939, volume #1, $1.5 million. Hey the comicbook wasn't even restored! LOL
