I have terrible, terrible luck. If I were in your position the bike would disappear before Wednesday. I have terrible luck.

Maybe you should get down there ASAP (unless you're luckier than I)? You seem like a good soul and I hope you get it.

I agree......When you snooze ....you looze...."Sometimes..." Sometimes people will go back on their word... Hopefully in this case you are dealing with a Honorable Man. :wink: The moral to the story is get while the getting is good !

Must have needed the extra support when loaded up with all those newspapers.

I say clean up the bike, re-install the rear fender and find yourself some old newspapers to put in the carrier.

Hi Micah,

Congratulations a great find. That is a Columbia made (as indicated by the chainring, rear triangle, fork crown and rear dropouts) Sears bicycle, those same frames were badges as JC Higgins in earlier years. This bike was built between 1965 and 1970 I would have to say; probably much clsoer to '65. The wheels are both incorrect I believe, if you want to run 26x1.75 tires you may want to find an original, period correct angled side rim set with a Komet coaster brake hub. I love the color and the potential!

I really like that color. There is a 60's Viking tank bike in my neighborhood in that color.

More kick stands, I say!

im going to use the white walls and rims from my 60s columbia the front wheel is not oringinal it is rusty though the old one was stripped and i use the back red rim on my columbia and i painted my 20inch mongoose rim red to match the back one and i added a all white tire on the back red rim and im going to put one on the mongoose tire waiting to see how it comes out when i was painting it. it got some snow on it so it will probably need some touch ups and get a little brush and go over the spokes with silver paint as i got some red on the spokes i also want to add a antique plywood tank and do a colllege on it with sailor jerry tattoo flash antiqued and i have a busted belt buckle i got see how it looks on the front if i like looks of it im going to have it welded to the head tube

Nice score. That's the first time I've ever seen the dual kickstand papaerboy setup and I had a route! What's cooler than tricks of the trade?
