WW2 British Army, ‘Commandeered’, Mk V. Roadster Bicycle, No 4276.

Was £495 now £399

Purchased by myself many years ago for Home Guard and Royal Engineers Reenacting the bicycle is as found. We believe that the bicycle is an early Mk. V Roadster, commandeered shortly after the outbreak of war, as the green paint has been roughly applied over the original black stove enamel.
I am sure that experts out there will correct me if we are wrong, the listing will be changed to reflect any new information that arrives.
We have retained the original wheels, three speed ‘hub’ and slightly bent crank so that the purchaser can return to its original state. We have replaced the seat with a period correct leather saddle for comfort, note that the original ‘economy’ saddle that came with the bicycle is also available, please refer to item number 491.

I have included an image of myself using the the cycle during a Home Guard reenactment.
