1891 Columbia For Sale

[rustjunkie]

Columbia Light Roadster IIRC?

I had one, not nearly this nice tho

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.

The 1887 Columbia Light Roadster had crossed/tangentially laced spokes.
I'm not sure, but I think it was the first commercially available bicycle wheel to be built this way. I would think, earlier than that over in England and France though.

If I hadn't bought 5 nicer bikes in the past few weeks I would have bought this bike. It's 126 years old and still able to ride! How cool!!!

If I am not mistaken the seat is a Victor and worth a bit more than the more common Columbia seat I have this bike jut one or so model year later (first year pneumatic and last year spring fork ) in both men's and ladies Great riding bike -and the break almost sort of works ...almost LOL

i think the market is a little soft right now and its not on the way up real soon ! anyone share my opinion

 

[Freqman1]

I believe this bike sold. I don't think the market is soft for the really good/desirable stuff. Four Bluebirds and a big tank Huffman had no problems changing hands recently. V/r Shawn
