Columbia Bicycles Compax 26″ Men’s 21-Speed Folding Mountain Bike, 18″/One Size
Originally produced by Columbia Bicycles in 1940, the Columbia compax folding bike was the first of it’s kind. The collapsible design was ideal for anyone tight on space, since it could be easily transported and stored practically anywhere. It was even tested by the us military during wwii to be used by paratroopers, due to it’s portability. This modern day version has all the features and nostalgic charm of the original 1940’s models but with today’s features from the modern day mountain bike, with a suspension front fork, 21-speed grip Shifters, linear-pull brakes, embossed saddle, 2 inch riser steel handlebars with soft tpr grips, and alloy 36-hole rims mated with aggressive off-road tires.

Packaged Well; Assembles in 1 hr., Quality good for the price. I will update my review as I use it. Just received today. Packaged very well; assembly took me an hour with two Allen wrenches and an open ended wrench. Overall quality, including aluminum frame seems good for the price; however the material covering the seat had a nick in it, and appears very thin. That could easily have been caused by the box cutters I was using to cut away all the paper and cardboard packing material.I have now been riding it for a few weeks; longest 11.5 miles…
READ MY ADVICE you’ll thank me later Yeah this is such a great bike. It’s the first bike I’ve gotten in years. It deserves five stars. But it was such a great bike in fact that it got stolen two days after my dad and I assembled it. I’m pissed, but what are we gonna do right? Here’s my advice if you’re gonna buy this beautiful bike: 1) Instructions clear but not really, there’s a YouTube video on how to assemble it, just look up the name of this bike and there’s a tutorial available by an experienced customer. You’ll know it when…
