Weighing in at more than 50 lbs, the Swiss Army Bicycle is the furthest away you can get from Lance Armstrong’s 16 pound Trek Madone 6.9 However, with its elegant simplicity, utility, and low maintenance design, the Swiss Army Bike had what it took to keep the Swiss Army chugging along for almost a century. Although it was phased out by the Swiss military in 2001, if you’re lucky, you can spot some of these bicycles on eBay going for a pretty penny.

I have a 1950’s vintage Swiss army bike with the trailer and stretcher, all in excellent condition, for sale. Can anyone advise me on how to reach out to collectors of this type of bike?
Thanks,
