Columbia

[Green Dragon]

Got a call yesterday, guy had this one and a few parts - so went out in 1 degree weather.. this is what I found.

no plans for it yet, have to get warmed up and maybe run the #s to see what year she is.

Guy I got this from hopefully drops by and joins the forum , rat rod chopper and tricycle builder, some crazy stuff, too.

Nice one. I have one of those humongus troxel seats on a Schwinn Typhoon.
Have fun with it.

Thanks Spokes. Did get out to the shop today but since it's not heated, just out of the wind..

Paint's not as good as it looks, lot of patina - the guard is odd, like something was wrapped around or covering the center section, beutiful paint and screen in the center 2/3, can just make it out in the pic.
Will make a good rat, or just patina'd ride, or just clean and flip come spring, not decided yet, just have to pounce on em when you find em .

Love that chainguard! I think it was in 1963 that they changed the Columbia on there from a script to block letters. -Adam
