1960 Columbia Jet Rider restoration complete

Cranky Chain Cycles

Finally riding a big boys bike
Last year I picked this beauty up and sat on it for a few months. My father-in-law saw it and insisted on restoring it. I was content with reconditioning but he was willing to pay for it to be replated. Here are some before and after pictures. Lacquer paint. New saddle, light, grips, decals chrome etc. Why was he so enamored with it? It was the bike he wanted as a kid but couldn't afford. I decided to gift it to him.

Nice, you don't see too many with the high fin guard! I have this Skyhawk, which shows the thinness of Westfield's chrome plating!
