Compax Military Models Sales Flyer

[Euphman06]

Is this a legit one? Seems a few things are different from the ad and I'm in no way versed in war time folding bikes. Is that price way off?

More Details!

It is 1" Pitch Chain,,,,, and Like I said, It Has Hard Wood Pedals with "JRC" where the Torrington #s usually is!

The Handgrips Brand Name is "Trim Grip"

The Rims are Taller than the Standard Balloon 26" Rim!!!!!!

I tried a 26 x 1 3/8 tire but was too Small. I can't Find 26 x 1 1/4 Size to Check!

Help Is Appreciated!

What about the Columbia Badge??????

Maybe wooden pedals indicate wartime rationing of rubber products?
