Columbia And Lacks Cruiser

[FreddyS]

Have a chance to trade some wagons and an old cooler for these two Bikes. The Lacks trade is pretty much a done deal.

The Columbia is undecided as I would have to throw in my nicest old wagon and some cash but it is a skip tooth.

Question? What do you think the value of these two bikes is? Like I said, I am on the fence on the Columbia.

Green GTO wagon and Coca Cola cooler. Trading these two items for the Lacks Cruiser.

Murray Rocket wagon I have to throw in plus some cash to make this deal happen.

I'd call that even Steven without the cash ,but then again I'd love to have those .

Really torn about this because the value of the wagon is 350 or so. I have seen more beat up ones than this sell on eBay for this or more. I believe it is a late 1940s model. That Columbia sure looks tempting though!

I've picked up those wagons for 100 - 150 but combined with the other and the cooler I wouldn't throw in any cash . But I'm cheap and a master of haggling ., lol

No guard on the Columbia. Even trade, no extra cash.

Is that even a columbia? I'm not that prewar saavy but that tank does not appear to fit correctly. Looks like a 50s era tank. Also, I've never seen a columbia fork with those truss rods standoffs.

You beat me to it, looks like maybe a Shelby motorbike with a much later Columbia tank.

Good catch! From the CABE. This may be a 30's Shelby.

Shoot, it’s probably worth a lot more even with the mismatched tank and missing chain guard!

If you pick it up and that tank is red, I have a home for it. I may have an era appropriate guard. Let me know

I agree...doesn't look like a Columbia or Westfield to me, either. Imposter tank!

Same tank that was on a '51 Columbia I had and sold...

Still a cool bike but guy is asking way too much for this Frankenbike. I have since moved on.
