Don't forget that there is an English Rex too!  Rex Acme who made bikes in Coventry from 1900 - 1933.  There's a gallery inthe pictures section for this marque.

Happy Christmas!

As said,Rex was German % Swedish.In Sweden it was
a very popular leightweighter -(98 ccm) and autocycle,
and I think they ended by makin some 150 ccm´s with
JB and Jlo engines.
It was i  ost aspects equal to the first Bantams.
The one shown is a Bantam-copy.......
