Greetings, a family friend has just told me he has a WW2 Tan Bicycle his father brought back from the ETo. He asked if I wanted it, naturally I said yes. My question is, if the bike is real what is a fair price for it also is there a sight or book you guys would recommend the I could us as a reference? Thanks for your time.
 
pay what the two parties agree is fare. As far as value I have seen bikes in the 2-3k range. As far as books ? I don't know of any.. If its ordinance tan that's a good thing. Should have spots for racks to attach or rifle/ panzer faust.
 
Might not be German, I bet it’s British myself. Either way the price is right!

Thanks for the insight guys, he said it has some sort or carrier for a rife. If i can get some pictures I'll post them. Thanks again.
 
I'm looking forward to the result of this. German troops also used alot of bicycles seized from the Dutch, so that's a possibility as far as origin goes. Cool topic!

+3 on the pictures. Would figure many would have survived, probably altered or at least repainted, as it is a very utilitarian object especially after a war.
 
I don’t know were the pictures come from.
Here an example from a French bicycle used by the navy.
