Columbia Yard Sale Find - MOVED TO "BUILDS"

[ChrisMac]

Not too knowledgeable on Columbias. Any ideas on year and other info?

Probably gonna be a build for a friend of mine.

[ChrisMac]

Anyone have a tank tha'll work on this one?

Nice find. I love the chainguard, but my favorite part is that tag!
I am going to file that idea away in my brain to try to copy.

[scrumblero]

score!

If I use this as a base for the build for my friend it will end up something like this. Her choice not mine.

I have seen a couple of fabric and decopauge bike around town and they are pretty cool. Just don't cover that beautiful guard with fabric.
I saw one bike that was decopauged with nothing but some old cigarette coupons (Raleigh or Benson & Hedges) it was pretty cool.

I may keep the guard and swap it out for another if she want it covered as well.

Nice lucky find. She's a classic beaut.

[ChrisMac]

It is now in many many pieces ready to be stripped, painted, and decopouged.

I just checked the Columbia year chart. You've got a 1958.
