1932 Hawthorne ACE, Balloon Tire Motorbike

This ad from a 1932 Montgomery Ward catalog describes this bicycle as having "Balloon Tires". They appear to be single-tube type tires like the common (at the time) 28" tires, but they are 26" and a larger diameter. This of course pre-dates Schwinn's claim to fame of having the first Balloon Tire bicycle in America.

Year: 1932    Brand: Hawthorne ACE
