This is a Once in a Lifetime chance to buy a COMPLETELY ORIGINAL AND VERY RARE WW2 British paratroopers bicycle in almost N.O.S. Condition!!
This bicycle comes from the region of Arnhem(Market-Garden).
The frame and EVERY part of the bike has the original paint and decals(very good condition!).
*original BSA Model Number 40 saddle.
*original celluloid BSA hand grips.
*original chainwheels and chain.
*original ”war-grade” tires in VERY good condition!
*original brakes, pads and cotton coated cables.
Everything on this rare bicycle is as it left the BSA-factory!
The bicycle still folds easily, the original wingnuts turn smooth and there is no corrosion anywhere!
Please take a look at the ORIGINAL photo’s, taken 22-05-2012 at the ”Ginkelse Heide (Ginkel Heath)” near Arnhem (Drop-Zone Y During WW2 for the British paratroopers) It is just a few miles of my home in the Netherlands! I have taken the bicycle there with my van, and handled it like a baby (have not driven it because of the original tires).
