Best bike ever!

I loved the look of your Grandfathers Diamant, very dependable and purposeful look to it
But an adult sized version of your friends trike looks like it would be far more fun than any unsupervised adult should be allowed to have

I also would love to rid a Lilliput in my size and I would do all sorts of stupid things and hurt myself......just like back then

Absolutely and perhaps a small battery powered motor to help us with the hills... cos you know its gonna be pulling a trailer fully of goodies or booze because we're not getting any younger and life is about working smarter not harder

Nice idea
Maybe with a tube running direct to the rider?

I love the suspension.

Un-restored!! 1971 Sears Screamer. From nostalgicnet. Worth a visit if you like late 1960s and early1970s muscle bikes. Turns out @MattiThundrrr has thoroughly perverted me

1936 $19.95 must have been a huge outlay considering the deprssion.

WTF
Our Raleigh efforts are tame compared to this era of American muscle bikes. I should imagine you'd be made up if this was bought for you.

Looks like it's about a weeks wages for a low paid worker - so still the price of a basic functional bike now - but food and clothing were comparatively a lot more, car or telephone ownership a real luxury.
