Finally riding a big boys bike
Hello,
I just picked up a G519 and started restoring it. In another thread, https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/g519-ser-51874.165630/, Serge pointed out that I have a Columbia dogleg crank on the bike and it should be straight. I did a little research on Huffman cranks and believe that they used a dog leg crank pre war. I am unsure of the markings used by Huffman. Here is a picture of the markings on the crank. Is 35 a year date? Did Huffman use older instock parts on new bikes??
I will get a clearer photo but this one is marked 51 36. Is this pretty consistent with Huffman marks or Columbia ? Thanks for looking!
