just scored something cool...now what is it?

[pjc5150]

I am super stoked about this bike.

In fact, I think that among my very limited collection, it is my new fave. Why? Because it looks like it was some kid's bike back in the day that really loved it. It's got little pipes on the back, and the pedals are made out of wood(?)....

I plan to leave this one as -is, other than maybe some replacement rubber.

However, I have no idea what it is. There are no identifiable marks or lettering anywhere.

But there is a serial number on the left dropout - H221776

BJ you out there?

Anyone?

 

[LarzBahrs]

That looks to be columbia/westfeild built out of Massachusetts. Cool pipes

 

[pjc5150]

looks like the serial number shows it as a 1960!

Thanks man!

 

[pjc5150]

any idea what's up with the wood pedals?

home made I'm assuming?

 

[Kreep]

Yea, Its a Columbia for sure. The wood pedals are for sure homemade, but done well. Nice find.

That's cool! Diggin' the tailpipes 8)

That tank is cool. I like how it is fat looking.

 

[Nickinator]

Nice bike I think the tail pipes are also handmade.

 

[pjc5150]

yeah, I'm really glad I found it.

I definitely plan on keeping it.

Proof that as long as there have been things to modify, people have been doing it sweet provenance

.... cool bike! I'm jealous! I found a set of wood block pedals at a yard sale last weekend, I'm definitely regretting passing them up now. They looked too nice to be homemade, but who knows.

I have to agree, that's a cool bike, really like those pipes, when you ride it you'll have to tie some baloons on the fork to get that noise!
