I first noticed these two Columbias way back in the late 70's. They were hanging side by side above a '78 Pontiac Grand Prix. At the time I had no interest in them,but would still look in the direction of the garage when going by. I must have seen these bikes at least 3 or 4 times a week over the years and eventually forgot about them after moving across town.
I had a phone call from an elderly woman who had seen my "wanted bikes" sign that I have out by the road when she was visiting a friend in the neighborhood. She told me that she had two bikes that were her children's and since they no longer wanted them I could have them. While she was giving me the directions to her house I realized that it must be the same two bikes from back in the day and sure enough they were. The Grand Prix is also still in the garage hiding beneath a car cover.
