I don't really have any bikes with known provenance, except for the 1942 Columbia Sports Tourist that was used as a rental bike by Von Der Linden's Sporting Goods in Poughkeepsie NY during WWII, and then languished for several decades, until somebody needed its New Departure coaster brake for some other bike and sold the rest to me. I was never used enough to wear out it's War Tires, but at some point had it's head set replaced, steerer tube is still ever so slightly bent (oddly not bent backwards, but bent slightly sideways - hit by a car maybe?)
