Columbia Rambler

[The Renaissance Man]

Got this amazing Columbia Rambler yesterday.
This bike is very well preserved. The rust is very minimal which is unusual here in Alabama. The only bad thing about it is the fenders have some pretty substantial dents in them. It has new departure hubs front and back.

The best part is that my wife really likes the looks of it. I'll just have to make sure to avoid any hills when I get her to ride it for the first time!

All that I've done to it is dust it off and let the saddle down a few inches...

A sandbag and a ball peen hammer will take out those dents.

Bike looks nice and slick RM, if you ever wanted a reason to wear a skirt, now you've got one :lol:

How does that work?

Nice bike. as for the sand bag thing, if you get your hands on one take the fender off the bike and put it pai t down o the bag and gently tap on the dents slowly working the dents out, its a good idea to get a spare cenxer to practice on.and make sure the metals on the warm side so its easier to work

That's a good idea, I can't make it much worse. I've got some lead shot bags in my scuba diving gear that would probably work good.

I think I'll leave the skirts to my wife, I'm certain that she looks much better in them. (Not that there's anything wrong with that). :roll: :lol:

To me, the fork looks bent back some. Plus my foot will hit the fender when turning if I'm not careful.

:?: Do any of you Columbia owners know if it's supposed to look like that? :?:
