I need one of those! I have a Bevin bell with a clover on top. I'm going to try to grind the clover off. It get's painted black, so hopefully it will look 100%

Thanks. So...Frank Rizzo is Al of Bergerwerke?

You have a very nice bike @Goldslinger . Mine seems to be very original, and had blacked out pedals. My grips are also a little different, and I have a head badge that was a transfer onto steel (white and red paint). Also, I ended up using the Kenda tires. The bead isn't exactly right, but they...

I'm interested. Do you do eBay? I am not familiar with a buying something from other members on the cabe. Also, how much? I'll wait for the PM.

I actually found a 1947 sports tourist with the exact same seat. I plan to hang onto the original seat in original condition and restore the 1947 seat (the '47 seat looks identical, and is in similar condition. The '47 is in rough overall and the cool factor of a '47 is much less.

It has a metal headbadge. It does have a New Departure hub, but I will have to go look to see if there is a reference to "Model D".

What is a good way to restore this cloth seat? I was thinking about starting with some black shoe polish to cover the white wear spots, but is there a way to re-cover it properly? The bike is all original (except tires) and is a nice example of a war time bike with black out hardware.

Where did you get those?

If you ever end up making that lower truss bracket, I'd sure like to get my hands on one!

Thanks, I will take a look at the kendas

Here are some photos. I am looking for the size of the tires and ideas about restoration. I hate to sand that paint and ruin the decals.

I need tires for it, but I don’t know what size to get. The tires on it are modern tires from a 10 speed or something. No size on them, they just say made in Korea

I just picked up a very original 42 sports tourist, blacked out parts and all. I have 2 questions: 1. What size are the tires? 2. Any recommendations to restore the paint without stripping it and starting over. The original decals are there and I hate to mess with them. The paint is “ok”, but...

Thanks, I went with the previous commenters suggestion.

Thanks. I had seen those, but I was hoping for something cheaper, and maybe with the lower truss. Your comment made me finally pull the trigger on them.

It was the WW2 Military Bicycle. http://www.bergerwerke.com/historyG519.html

I am building a Westfield Columbia G519 WW2 tribute bike, but I have not found a set of Truss rods for it. I saw Bergerwerke has upper and lower truss brackets, but not the rods themselves. Can anyone point me to a set of truss rods (brackets would be good too). I'm willing to buy the whole fork...

What’s a proper set of handle bars?

Hello, I'm new to vintage bikes. My long term goal is to get a WWII era military bicycle. In the short term, I picked up this bike last week because it looks like a military Huffman (at least to my newbie eyes). The head badge says "Western Flyer" but the frame looks like some Huffmans that I...
