Hi All,
Please find below an update on all known identifiable WW2 Huffman military bicycles, correct to April 2025.
A .pdf is attached for downloading.
If yours is here, and you can add details, or if you know of one not on the list, please let me know.
As always, Thank you to those who have contributed their details over the years.
Probably the most interesting additions to the Huffman lists in the last year is the second USMC 'Lightweight' bicycle. In fact there are now three of this type (Model name/designation unknown) known, and I'm in contact with the owner and waiting for him to supply the details so it can be added.
Greetings, everyone. I'm looking for any and all information about my 1943 Dayton Huffman USMC bicycle. I would describe it as a diamond frame lightweight men's bike with front fork truss rods and a rear axle drop-down stand. This bicycle may be described in U.S. Government Federal...

We are still missing an example of a 1943 Huffman Model HF-771 lightweight folding bicycle for paratrooper use. Of the 500 built, this is the only known surviving example and is part of the bicycle display at the Carillon Historical Park in Dayton, OH. It is interesting to note that it has a Westfield chainwheel.
Does anyone have access to this bike (or another survivor?) Mounted as it is, it would seem possible to photo the serial number on the bb easily (assuming it's not filled with paint).
