Look Ma, No Hands!
I thought I would post this Columbia Victory bike / VG 295 used by the US Army during the war.
I have a mens 1941 pre black out, and a Woman's 1943 , this one is cool as it has light OD paint over the factory maroon color, and the typical darker late war OD on top.
The ser. # is G82699 , 1942 , it is a 22" frame , and a 7" head tube, way bigger than my other mens VG
This is the way I received it , although it had a B&D chain on it , but I need that for a MG project I am doing.
I don't think these bikes came with B&D chains , so it might have been add at the Army base.
If any one has any new info please share. I have never seen one in the OD paint
I am going to sell this one / frame and fork- and crank set , if any one is interested , shoot me a email , [email protected]
