Columbia barn find - need advice

If I was walking past it, the sifters would stop me. I would restore it to running just to how they work.

Good point. Very unique shifters. I was thinking that also. Tune them and feel how they shift!

I like neat stuff like these and always lose my shirt when I decide to sell. White finish on all bikes of the 60s and 70s did not hold up well. Sell it for $40 as is and move on.

My first bike in college was a Columbia three spd. My roommate had a Peugeot 10 spd. He showed me the difference in quality without being a snob. The bike served me well although it was cheap all around. Wouldn't have it back if you gave it to me........
