Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Seeing the second frame showing red and blue over khaki make me wonder if the popularity of khaki bikes quickly died after WWI and dealers or the factory repainted frames still in stock with a nice red to appeal to the market? It does seem like the catalogs that show color illustrations often have motorbikes/motobikes/motocykes in red. Nice catchy color for advertising.
To me sure looks like the red and the blue over the khaki/olive drab. The teeth on the chain ring just looked like nice worn originals.
