The geometry of the frame and forks is interesting - definitely more relaxed than even the Swiss bicycle. It should be extremely stable and comfortable. Nothing like today's bicycles, except for traditional Dutch and Danish bikes. I'm slightly surprised that the military bicycles are all fixed gear as they would benefit from a 3 speed hub gear. However it's just something else to go wrong, although the Sturmey Archer was incredibly reliable. Perhaps the other nations didn't have as reliable a hub gear and of course they wouldn't fit a non domestic model. Very interesting. I loved the tow hitch. All the best. 👍
Very cool bike! Wish I could own one! Have a 1949 Swiss MO-05.
Awesome bike. Awesome history. Nicely done.
I was watching a mark felton video... you have answered all the questions I had! Thanks.

Interesting bike, the pedals and crank set look much more modern than WW2 though
looks very similar to the finnish army bicycle that propably came after though
World War 2 era made in Germany . .cool bike
Cool!
