Columbia found on craigslist

[Euphman06]

Just picked this off of craigslist. I usually buy to sell and got this at a price which I could do that, but it's too nice so I'll have to keep this one 8) Does anyone know more about this bike? Can't find too much on the internet about it, but it's obviously in great shape, with everything original and practically NOS on it. Owner said his brother bought it new in 1960, road it about twice then thought riding was too much like work so it's been in storage ever since. Paid $80 for it, good deal?

Fah; that's minty! I tried to buy a super nice Columbia close to that today (for ultracheap) but the guy never responded and it was soon sold Good find though! My only truly minty bike is a Schwinn Pixie..

:shock: Wow that thing is clean! I have seen MUCH worse posted and sold for $150-$200 so at $80 you should be okay. :wink:

It's a beauty all right! I think they went to those block letters on the chainguard and tank in 1963. -Adam
