1980s Columbia City Lite single speed conv.

[trailcreep]

this was a 1980s Columbia City Lite 10 speed, I originally picked it up just for the Mafac cantilever brakes and the Ritchey bullmoose style handlebar then I decided to convert it into a single speed....
- Mafac cantilevers, Ritchey Bullmoose bars, alloy wheelset, 39x20 gearing, laid back post, Moto levers, Ritchey Moby Bite rear and Speedmax front

I like that rear tire. Is that a slick? Nice color scheme

cool columbia. i used to have handlebars just like that, too. great conversion work. i have an early 80's columbia clipper cruiser that i converted to a 3speed, a murray monteray from single to 5speed and a huffy stone mountain i converted from 18speed to single speed. its a grat thing for me when i get bored with a particular bike and want to spice it up a little.
