CL Bikes to ID

[Jesserd]

I saw a couple bikes on Craigslist, and I couldn't tell much about them. I had the poster send me better pics, and I still don't know much about the bikes. She wants $50 each or $75 for both... I don't think that I'm missing out on anything, but I want to make sure. Let me know what y'all think!

AAARRRRRR! shiver me timbers! It be a middleweight Columbia in latex red and a Huffy.


is that a cereal box trasformer reflector on the Columbia's rear wheel?

 

[Jesserd]

hahaha... I saw that! I was just thinking that it was a robot. That would have to stay on the bike.

Looks like I wouldn't be missing out on anything with these bikes..... other than a sweet robot!

I started to reply and then saw the Pirate looking at me from the background...The columbia would be a bunch of work to strip but it might have potential..there's probably enough room in there for wider tires, and it's got a tank.

 

[Jesserd]

I see the pirate now... I get the joke.... and I think that you might have suggested a great theme for the bike! haha

The Columbia's definitely worth $50, and The Huffy open road is maybe worth $25, so not a bad deal really. -Adam

you should buy the bed too it looks like has some nice patina on it..lol nice bikes the columbia is sweet not bad at all.....

 

[Jesserd]

I'm more in the market for a rust-covered, $20 bike... but it would just save me some work.

Got any idea on approx. years of the bikes?

 

[Walker]

The Columbia has got to be late 50's, judging by the basic tank, stem design and 1/2" pitch chain.

No idea on the Huffy, probably newer than Red

 

[Walker]

See if you can get them to throw in the Pirate, just for fun..

 

[Jesserd]

I will try to pick up the Columbia (who knows what will happen with Craigslist though!). I really have no interest in the Huffy. Thanks for the ID help! I will keep you updated when/if I get the Columbia!

 

[Jesserd]

The bike was sold before I could pick it up! Guess it wasn't too bad of a deal! Thanks for the ID help!
