Columbia Fire Arrow, 2 speed kick back?

[xray]

This almost looks like complete junk to me, but I find it intriguing that it supposedly has a two speed kickback hub.

Craiglist Fort Myers, asking $80 in case anyone's interested in this sort of thing:

Oh man cool bike for $80 !

 

[metalchewy]

Awesome bike for $80.

I don't know enough about Columbias to get excited, but I'm glad somebody likes it.

Agreed; that bike is exceedingly rad for $80.

Very cool! Has the original racks, crash rail seat, paint, although a lot of surface rust, and everything original down to the pedals. I don't know how good Columbia chrome was back in the late 50s, early 60's but it may be usable as is. I'd ride it!

Columbia's brightwork really slipped postwar, but I bet some tinfoil and diet coke would shine it up half-decent...

It's got the red band kickback, made from 60-64.
