I think it' a Columbia , don't know if they ever made bikes for Indian or not

 

[Herman]

whats the additional rear ring for?

so you can flip the wheel around for a different ratio,it has a different number of teeth on it,that's why it has the quick change nuts on the rear wheel

cannot get a good picture of serial # I know one line # is G3 other set of numbers to tough to read. got the serial #=26129

Looks like about a '40 model. Its really interesting to see the Sports Tourist model with an Indian badge. The badge is worth more than the whole bike but it would be a shame to seperate them in my opinion. V/r Shawn

Except for a few odds and ends it looks a lot like the '46 Westfield I used to have.

I am the second owner of this bike. Everything is original except for one inner tube. Some minor chrome loss on handlebar and rims. The paint has a few spots, most notably on the fork. I replaced one of the rivets on the rear fender and the front needs one replaced as well. I will include some...

Look at those Westfield high-low badge holes.
Also, the bolt-on brakes are kind of cool.

Hi

G3 would be a March 1940 made frame, so the serial number is probably E26129, which fits the sequence of known Westfield survivors.

Best Regards,
