BSA Paratrooper bike. $1000+++ depending on condition and completeness. IMO.

Hi,

It's a second pattern BSA Parachute bike. Ex british army, 1942-5.

I don't do valuations, but that should be enough for you to look it up.

It has original pedals, a plus, but the saddle and rear brake are wrong, and expensive to replace with a originals. I can't tell if the paint, wheels, tyres, front brake, brake levers, grips etc are original, all of these would help the value.

Best Regards,

Adrian

It has the Everest rack on the handlebars. Buy it before the owners watch the Pawn Stars episode that featured a bsa paratrooper...

He wants $1000 The only way I would buy it is to resell and make some money on it. I would say the tires are not original Tires fit British e3 or 4 I think they said. made in the USA 26 x 1 3/8 If anyone wants it I would go get it but would need the money up front. Plus ship

Also the sprocket wheel is bent would need to be straightened back that is why the chain does not stay on.

It has the correct carrier pack as well.
