Here is a picture of me taken on my military Columbia yesterday during the Skidkings ride. My uniform pieces are all original except the musset bag hanging from the handle bars. Rear fender is painted with 12th Bomb Group stencil.

Nice bike! But, I think it would be nicer if you recovered the saddle in black. I don't believe that a military bike would have a red saddle.

The G519 bicycle has a tan or brown seat (depending on the amount of oil and dirt on the seat) It just looks red from the flash in the rear shot picture. The G519 did not have a black seat.

Nice bike Stony!

All you need now is a weapon, maybe rubber.

The Skidkings are having a ride on New Years Day, so maybe I'll wear a rubber then.

For some reason these forums delete my picture after a short amount of time. Is it my photo provider or is it the forums? My avatar is the same bike before the additions.

As for the Columbia, I just put a new seat on it with the Persons shield stamp. I also replaced the seat frame, clamp and spacers with original NOS ones.
