I found this old Columbia. What caught my eye the most was the "Dicks Cyclry" sticker on it. Dicks was a bicycle show here in my town when I was growing up and one of the greatest places on the planet. He never charged kids for work unless parts were needed. The owner passed away when I was 16 or 17 and was the end of an era.
 
Here is some of what I have gotten at our Spring and Fall City Wide Dump Day. I usually bring home a truckload each time. Some of the bikes are good, most are just good for parts.

The scrap guys around here love me. They actually were already setting the complete bikes aside and shipping them to a thrift store for $5 a piece. I offered $10 and would pick them up.
