I found a couple of war time bikes today. This Columbia I new nothing about but Im planning a prewar heavy duty utility bike. I prefer my bikes actually all my stuff utility in nature. I sold off all my full equipped cycle planes and phantoms and such. So I was at the swap meet today and I found this ladies bike with morrow front and rear drop center 36-10 heavy duty wheels dated M-2. I negotiated down to about the price of the front hub alone so I planned on stripping the wheels ad building my project. I started researching the bike and it turns out I think it's a ladies war time MG serial number black out bikes olive drab paint 36-10 front and back. It's been house pointed over with blue and the wheels and braces are sprayed silver. I think I get it cleaned up. What do you guys think. Now I'm thinking about building a men's Columbia with the parts. May be not. It has a basket and old chid seat on it now.
