Default bicycle

It is possible yours is a post war assemblage of compatible fitting parts.

In the 80s I was on exercise in Wainwright, Alberta and decided I wanted a bicycle to get around camp and explore. I found who in town sold bikes, and trudged in with my money. The old fella had a home workshop with an assortment of old bikes and what looked like a lot of parts.

I bought a 60s era CCM coaster bike that someone probably bought new from a catalogue, rode for years, put away, and the old guy bought it. He was just recycling serviceable bikes. It is possible you ugly but serviceable bike was the same thing. A used bike that needed some work, and parts were added to a wartime frame.
