1936 Indian Balloon Tire Bicycle

by Dave Stromberger · December 6, 2001

This months “Bicycle of the Month” is a 1936/7 Indian. Sold at Indian motorcycle dealerships for a short time in late 1936. This is an original bike that still shows the large Indian decals on the tank. Notice the unique frame construction and drop stand. Also notice the Mesinger “tornado spring” seat and skirted fenders… wow, what a bike!
