Finally riding a big boys bike
Sorry, no pictures here--use your mental camera. In 1963( I think) a new frame came out from Columbia for the newsboy(later used for the firebolt and fire arrow), The frame featured awesome twin straight bars that became the rear rack--very stout for a full bag of papers, the newsboy version also had thicker spokes, 2.125 tires and maybe wider rims though it is lumped in with middleweights. Got it--know the one I'm talking about? It came in two colors I believe; red and white or black and white. Here is my question--- 20 years ago, I had one in my collection that was blue and white. where it would have said NEWSBOY(on the chaingaurd) mine said NEWSDAY, as in the giant newspaper from the New York area. I feel that I read something about a certain number of them having been given out to kids with high performing routes--of course, they may have just sat in windows for static displays, don't know. Has anyone else here seen one?
