My '75 Columbia Sport Restoration

This thread is real similar to my '79 Schwinn Collegiate thread, (viewtopic.php?f=10&t=21093) all I have are before and after pics.
Like the Schwinn, this one was in really good original condition, so all I had to do was buff the paint, polish the chrome and add new tires & tubes (of course, I went thru all the bearings too).

Thanks for looking!

Now all you need is a powder blue leisure suit to match! :lol: Kidding aside, nice job! ~Adam

Thanks guys, it was a fun (re)build.
I knew when I first saw it that it would clean up pretty good but your right it's almost NOS looking.
It does have one scratch on the fork though, so it's not perfect (what bike is...at least for those that actually get used).
