A lot of people know I've been looking for an old bike, was looking for something 50's art deco columbia, or pre-war super old. I found and made a deal on this friday. Pretty complete, tank is present, headlight and horn is not.

Image

I have some tricks up my sleeves that I will be using to get that paint to shine from under the rust. Wish me luck, I f*cking love it.


And then, friday night I got a txt from someone here, about another one. The price was fair, Pete is cool as sh*t, hope to run into him more often. This one is getting greased up, polished up, and will most likely hang from my rafters in my living room, along with 2 others. I do want to take it to the next critical mass, but I would kill anyone that wrecked into it. Can you get insurance on bikes??

Image

If you see this, thanks again Pete

so, the bike above is why I went to dallas and back. 19MPG in my truck, 82mph AC on. I was suprised!

anyways, it's a '55 Columbia, pretty rare to find one for sale in any condition, but it's a rusty old heap

Image

the OG paint is hiding under all that rust. this is a lot of work. I bought some cheap plastic at lowes and put my gates down and used it as a workbench

here's some of it partway through my de-rusting process. It's slow and tedious work, not all of it is coming out, and It's real easy to ruin the logo's and paint work so I'm trying to be careful

Image

I thought I was going to just do a quick one day job, but 8+ hours in a hot garage yesterday really messed me up. Oh well

Image

Image

these are OG. I can tell a number of ways, they were really really nasty, and when was the last time you saw bearings made in the US?

Image

more work on it tonight. well, maybe tomorrow night, I'm freakin beat

Funny that you post that ... I had just took the crank bearings out of the Schwinn Black Phantom that I'm working on .. they were dry but in good condition. They are marked Schwinn natl 64..

Here's a really crappy instagram pic. Bought all these at yard sales: 20" Mongoose that I still need to clean up ($12), Giant Rincon ($25), and you can just barely see my wifes blue one just like in "Bon Bon's pic with a basket and toddler "rumble seat".
