Hanno,
Thanks for the link to the BSA bicycles, which is very interesting. As you say, there's more to the humble bicycle than meets the eye !. Do you (or anyone) have a list of frame numbers for the BSA Mk 5 or 5* as I think I may have found an unrestored example here in England. The one I have my eye on is a BSA Mk 5* which has the conventional rod rear brake, as opposed to a back pedal brake on the Mk 5. I'll let you know if I am successful in purchasing it.
I was also a bit surprized to see just how much the humble WW 2 bicycle was making on various websites
Regards
Keith
