1891 Columbia For Sale

[tripple3]

I look at pictures and ask questions.
I am not in the market for this bike just curious.
The seller says he knows nothing so lets learn; Please.

BMXers doing tricks on these...

Is this early suspension??
Does it work? on dirt roads? Wow!

Thanks for input on this awesome machine.

My 1891-2 Rambler pedals are just like that. This is a great bike (not my color choice tho)
Interesting that it has crossed, not radial spoking.

Other than the interesting paint job, reproduced brake hardware, tires and new seat leather, it looks pretty original and complete to me. And yes, that is original suspension, correct for the period.

So, you think it's worth $6,500 ?

Couple of years ago at Copake Auction, a 1891 Columbia sold for $7900. Similar Victor bikes of the same vintage sold at the same auction for about $6000 and $8000.

But, in this condition?
