Hello Cabers. I just finished the preservation of a 1942 Westfield (Columbia) Sports Tourist bicycle and it came out great and rides wonderfully. Everything is original except for the saddle and tubes. Even the Gillette tires made in Eau Claire, WI are perfect. My question is about the serial number and chrome part spec. The serial number is "G34280" which I believe makes it a 1942 model. Every other Sports Tourist I have seen from 1942 has blacked out parts because of the war effort. So, my best guess is that it is an early 1942 model, maybe one of the last ones with chrome parts before the change to black? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
