Vintage Westfield Bicycle. My Dad's, purchased circa 1936. Westfield brand. Wooden wheels. Does any one have any knowledge of history, model etc.
That sounds right. The s/n on the bike aligns with the 1940 series E80075 shown as 1940. Still, a pretty nice 80 year old vintage bike. I may need to get an appraisal for insurance purposes. Have you used any appraiser that you would recommend? Thanks for all you insights on this.
Nice Bike there @martinto , Did your Dad ever Race It ? It's very Clean Looking . Was it Re-Painted ? Thanks for your Pictures..........I'm learning along with You. Also..............WELCOME to this Awesome Group of Bicycle Enthusiasts .
Dear All, I have posted a Westfield frame number/date list from 1939 to 1945 in the Military Bicycles section: http://thecabe.com/forum/threads/westfield-frame-numbers-1939-1945.100742/ This is just a first draft, so I would welcome any further Westfield frame types/codes/numbers that expand...
This is the road racer model. Columbia/ Westfield produced for many years. Most of these sport steel rims, but wood rims were optional, and correct. Came with fixed gear as shown, coaster rear hub was another (low cost) option. Lightweight steel frames were drilled for fenders, and those were also available if desired. The phillips apollo type pedals on the bike are later, and not correct for the bike. Originally had torrington $$$Star #4 quill type pedal, or similar . Looks like blue repaint covering the cool original paint job these bikes had when new. Very nice machine, and awesome family heirloom!!

I believe he did before he enlisted in 1941. He was on a club soccer team as well. Not much bike racing in Toledo, OH. My Dad painted it a Very light blue. When I Got it, I painted the blue you see based on the Westfield badge color, which I believe was the original color. Best match I could get. Thanks for Your observations.
