Walking down the tracks on the way home the other day, and look what I stumbled across. Looked like it had been there forever, but I walk that way all the time. Obviously hadn't been ridden in a long time.......a mystery. I looked at it and thought "wow I never find bikes that old". Then I thought, "what am I, crazy?? I don't need another bike, even if it is cool." So I mustered up the strength to walk away. Then I thought "but it's FREE".....and so goes the rest of the story :lol:

.....although it just dawned on me.....the red paint, the skull valve cap.....it's a DEVIL BIKE, placed there to tempt me!!! EL DIABLO!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

So I haven't dated it yet, although it's obvious its a 60's Columbia. The serial # is W776397. I think I just found my next Build-Off bike! :mrgreen: What do you guys think???
 
Score! I always take home a free bike no matter what it is or how bad it looks. If nothing else just to strip it of tubes, bearings, bolts, and scrap the frame so I have an excuse to look around the scrapyard for other bikes.

I never found a bike that cool just laying around. Sweet.
