Columbia 5 Star

[macncheese]

Needs a fender light, chainwheel, grips, and the rear fender reflector(s), and eventually fender rolling and a rack.

Hit me up if you can help!

Nice, but why "needs a chainwheel"?

 

[macncheese]

Because the chainwheel is broken!?

Must be having a senior moment...what is a chain wheel?

 

[macncheese]

Chainring?

If it's just bent, here's Sheldon Brown's (RIP) how to fix it webpage:

The locating hole where the cranks attache is cracked off. You can tell from the photo that the arms arent aligned with one of the "spokes." I dont think its a huge deal, it seems like every columbia bike ever made has this chainwheel/chainring/sprocket/whateveryoucallit.

Sweet find!!!!! There are repop chrome Columbia headlights on ebay all the time

I've heard those repop ones aren't very accurate but honestly I dont know enough about this bike to even know which is the correct one. I guess I've got some homework to do!

 

[macncheese]

Thats the coolest one, @CeeBee . I've got one without the sidemounted doohickies. Need to find which is the correct one for my bike. Yours looks like it has chrome fenders...

Like that headlight Clint. Is that the original one that came with it?
