What model and what year? After 1907 they are the same as a Columbia.

That is the same as a 1900-192X Columbia so it's easier than most others. Parts bikes show up but infrequently. Is yours a cushion frame?

Mine is a cushion frame both front and rear.

Neat! You are in luck, since you have probably the most numerous chainless. Are your cranks gone completely or just damaged? Scour eBay and craigslist and eventually a parts bike will show up. Have you posted at the wheelmen.org? I have a scan of the Columbia "care and feeding of the chainless bicycle' I can send you. Useful information on putting one back together.

Also, have you found this page:

I may have a set of cranks off of a Columbia but will have to dig a bit.
