Bicycle, parachuter?

[Karsten S]

Hi guys,

Saw this bicycle on auction, and I find it really nice, but I am no expert on these in anyway, so some of you might be able to give your opinion on this.
If anyone could help me towards a value ( to know what to bid) could you please pm me.

Hi Karsten, this is a post war Danish made version.

It has been fitted with a British made saddle.

I think they are trying to pass it off as wartime by doing this.

Note these features:

wing nuts and mountings on the frame
Lack of "BSA" sprocket
Lack of BSA lamp holder
Lack of brakes

Each year I see these sold at Beltring by Danish dealers openly as Danish bikes.

Cheers, Ade.

I cannot now recall the price that the Danish bikes were selling for? Maybe around £350/£400?

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks for your help. I had a feeling that you would react to this thread :-)
