1960 Columbia Jet Rider

[Cranky Chain Cycles]

I've spent several months browsing all the websites and apps looking for a men's cruiser with a tank and springer fork at an affordable price. Enter this cruiser, a Jet Rider from 1960. It has a single-speed hub with coaster brake and a working bell. This will test my patience because I have 10 other bikes in storage waiting to be tuned up.

This looks fairly clean as is but with a little TLC is will look brand new, awesome bike.

This Jet Rider has been hanging from the rafters at Cranky Chains Cycle for about a year. I have been bugging him to let me do the restoration on it and he gave me the go ahead. How rare is this model? I can’t find much on the internet. Hope someone can spare some knowledge.

Very cool ride.
