1918 DAYTON Military Bicycle

[bike]

Last summer i met an old guy that has a military surplus

he gave me the code for wwi drab. 3 letters that had to do with gloss as well as color- he said it was a mix of whatever they could get for the batch and WAS NOT AT ALL UNIFORM....

Top-Gunner Balloontyre ... the brightwork does look bright ... but so does the headtube in the vid ...
tho' nothing appears to be reflective ..........

These are great films, Ivo ... and I like how they are programmed to show in real-time .. instead of the usual
speeded-up stuff that comes out of a hand-cranked camera.

.............. patric
