Genuine or fake?

I'm still curious as to how it can be both an Axis bike and Swiss. Seems like an oxymoron to me. Of
course, if it is genuine, it is still a beautiful beast, which may or may not be worth that lind of
loot. If not genuine, it is a great fake.

It 'looks' right. It is certainly the style of bike used at the time. However, bikes of this design
are still being manufactured in many Asian countries. A few years ago I did some work on a
Vietnamese bike built sometime in the 70s that looked identical except for the cargo pack.

No no no the seller said it was from the "Swiss Werhmact" and afer all he is an expert.

It looks original if the seller posted it as a Swiss Army bike. The crankarms and brake mech/lever
are what look to be original. It may not be as old as WWII, but still seems to be original as in
issue. If I saw it up close, I could tell. Brown's Cycles in GJ has had a few come and go and I've
even ridden those pigs.

I would guess a fake, look at the large number of "negative" feedbacks on the seller, plus he
doesn't accept any type of payment that would be easy for you to recover. Would not touch it for 1/4
the price.

Amazing condition on those 60 year old tires. I would expect them to have at least lost their shine,
eh? They should be dry & cracked. It would have been even more convincing if they were flat.

The seller was obviously e-tarded and only a complete e-diot would have bought that bike for
that much.

I wish people posting here would stop BREAKING URLS AT 76 CHARACTERS.

Having to cut and paste them back together (minus any >'s if it's quoted) is a PITA

Why do people leave their computer's set to break at 76 characters? It's SOOOOO OBSOLETE in the days
of large monitors, it just isn't necessary! Heck even a 14 inch monitor would fit a full 50% more
characters than that, and my 17 inch could damn near hold TWO URLS on a single line.

OK, I'll end my rant session now and go take my medication.

I'm still thinking about John's "bad boy" thread obviously; because I'd have to say that I prefer
genuine. Although fake can look good until you get close up...

Get a life, Trentus! Most folks don't even know how to change it. Learn to use [CTRL]-{insert} and
{shift]-[Insert] and you'll be fine.

If it's a 'German WWII' bike, the Germans nicked if of some poor sod (probably at gunpoint) when
they buggered off back te the Heimat chased by the rest of the world.

Actually, not a lot. I guess it was the 14 hour day at work, the beer, a subject line. So what's all
this about you saying something about John getting head at a beer fest because he had fake [censored]? Or
should I just shut up and have another beer?
