1950s Newsboy by Columbia

[Marc's Classic Chrome]

This is a heavy duty bike that was used to drop off papers back in the day. It is complete and has nice patina. It has red house paint on it and I was able to get about 90 percent off. It is a cool ratrod but also could be restored. $170

Some more info would help.

Rear rim mismatched? Rear hub is? Spoke guage front and rear? Front hub looks Westfield but not heavy duty. Og bars & stem appear missing. Trussrods missing. What is the serial? Middleweight 1.75" tires? Are fenderbrace rivits intact or are there screws? $170 shipped or extra?

Thanks,

Nate
