phantomfixer Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 google G519 for any and all info on WWII US issue bikes...there was no military designation prior 1939...civilian bikes were bought and used, so even though your is post war and a 24 inch...it will work for reeancators...better than the 1960 Schwinns that are painted OD and have a mussett bag on the handle bars...here is a good link...there are many othershttp://www.bergerwerke.com/BwG519.html Link to post Share on other sites
phantomfixer Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 here is what I started with.. a bent up 1936 ( I think, based on SN) Columbia the handle bars are reported to be G519 original ...factory OD paint... anyway not a G519 but it meets my needs... Link to post Share on other sites
docthrush Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Awesome thanks for the info!!! Still keeping an eye out for a more correct bike but they seem few and far between, at least at reasonable prices haha. Link to post Share on other sites
