Looks like a long time ago. Sweet Bike!! 8)
Maybe try to find out when Al tubes were being commercially made for another purpose
Like gun barrels and Bike frame tubes (BSA)
Looking forward to see more, Thanks for posting

That's an awesome illustration. I love the lady in the back, she's watching the lady in yellow pick up the bike and she's exclaiming "NO WAY!!! How freakin light is that!!" :lol: Thanks for posting it.
