Are there documented cases of navy blue bikes? Both my parents are WW2Navy vets and I would like to build a tribute bike.

I dont think the navy would have used the color "navy blue" on any equipment if that is what you are asking. The only navy blue colored military machines I've seen are early Air Force from the 50's. Hopefully some military experts will correct me if I am wrong.
 
Are you doing any ID alphanumerical graphics? I like where you're at with the bike.

(great name by the way) I had a tool bag that was assembled with repro fittings that have the appearance of a rivet head with a threaded nut on the back.....Bergerwerke reassembled the bag with actual rivets after I painted the ends.

I have thought about painting some graphics from the Key West N.O.B. if I can ever track down some samples....I have a bicycle pass from this Navy base dated 01/08/1945.
