Contact me for details and more photos on any of these vintage cruisers.
Prices are FIRM unless you buy multiple.
Come check them out in my Bike Barn in Jasper Georgia.
I prefer local pickup & cash but will take payment thru PayPal w/o fee.
Keep in mind you’ll have to pay shipping & boxing from 30143. I know a local bike shop that charges $65 for boxing and BikeFlights.com is usually $75-125+ domestic US.

I’m not desperate to sell. Just prefer to collect different types, and with that many bikes, I’m out of room.

41 columbia (green) is 50's bike, nice one, but 50's

Appreciate the feedback but I was going off my friend (Dave Marzen) who restores them for me. I think he was thinking 40’s because of skiptooth. Why are you thinking 50’s?

 

[BFGforme]

Drop out on rear instead of rear enter fork!

 

[Kevin Crowe]

Parts are early 40’s with skip tooth

That columbia looks like early 50’s or late 40’s. Just because a bike is skiptooth doesn’t mean its prewar. I’ve seen a lot of 50’s schwinns with skiptooth chains

Parts were added to 50’s frame but are early 40’s

On the subject of the Green '40's/'50's Columbia 5 Star in Kevin's listing ... I have a picture (below) of how the Columbia (originally a Girls bike) looked when I acquired it a couple years ago. Aside from the (replaced by original owner) Rocket Ray light and Messinger saddle you see in the picture below... this was a well kept Girls Columbia with mostly OEM parts, and I can not recall if it had a Rear-Exiting wheel dropout on the back. The bike was in very rideable condition when it was purchased as a girls bike. I then found a decent Boys frame and vintage tank and converted it to what you see now... In Kevin's listing above...
The front wheel is equipped with a "forward Brake" in the hub and STILL works with the Factory installed brake cable. Both the girls frame and this boys frame have the famous Columbia Built-in kickstand. The wheels run very straight and true using the original Lobdell drop-center rims. I hope this helps clear-up a little bit what is going -on with this bike. Cheers! CCR Dave

What size is the Customliner? Looks like a kid's bike, but maybe just the camera angle?
