attic full of columbias

[regulators00]

well my brothers friend bought a house and I got a phone call saying " you like junky old bikes right? $50.00 and their yours"

so I went to look and he had 10 columbias in the attic

this is my first trip back I will get more tomorrow

59 fire arrow

this one is a 63 by the SN but I am not sure of the model it looks like a rambler but I am not %100
it definatly spent some time in the sun

LUCKY! what a score!

 

[aka_locojoe]

Wow wonder what the story is. All being Columbias.

 

[Tosa2112]

Wow! I can't wait to see the rest!

 

[maddogrider]

Looks like the 63 coulda used some sun screen :mrgreen:

 

[Unchained]

WOW, lucky doesn't begin to describe this. :shock: Those two speed fire arrows have very nice styling.

we seem to get a lot of columbia bikes in these parts, most likely because we are about 10 miles from columbia MFG

thanks for the truck offer Kota & Thaismytruck but I grabbed my brothers for tommorows run

I will take some more pics of them as they come in

Wait a second- so you're in MA too then? Or did Columbia have several plants? I thought the original and only plant was out in Westfield, MA.

 

[regulators00]

I am in Ma. I grew up in Easthampton, and I live in Florence

very cool bikes!!! i have a columbia of unknown orgin, probably late 70's; a clipper. just shows that one man's trash is anothers treasure. how did you get the date from the ser#? i got one if you could guess at its age. you'll be getting a pm.

If you're lucky enough to score any extra Columbia parts, I could really use a 24" straight bar middleweight frame ( with the built in kickstand) and a set of 26" peaked fenders like the ones in your photo..........
