1960 Columbia Thunderbolt

Look Ma, No Hands!
Found this little gem today, was hoping it would be in good shape but the Twin Tube is completely broken through at the seat post and the bridge is broken at the seat post and off the bridge to the back end of the tank to the twin tubes. Probably just part it out , someone out there is looking for a tank and a rack I'm sure... most of it is still in good condition with a little bit of rust. Just bummed out about the broken frame. Still can't believe the guy tried to pretend like it wasn't broken, was duct tapes when I got there

Columbia used to guarantee their frames for life. They would just give you a new frame of the same style and it was up to you to change over all the parts. It may have been the wrong color or different decals, whatever they had in stock. Too bad they don't have a bicycle division anymore.
 
Been taking apart the Columbia to part it out. Horn still intact but had to pry a very old Eveready from it. It makes a very faint sound which I'll post to our instagram page tomorrow... has anyone taken apart a horn to 'service' it? I was going to get in and make sure all the relay connections wee clean
