What's the difference between Columbia and Elgin built ones, is it the paint scheme?
Also is it really worth 1K, I seen other ones on this site in the $700 range. Are the Columbia ones worth more. I really want to be informed, the guy trying to sell it found it at a flea market and doesn't know what it's worth. I don't want to be that guy and take advantage of him. Would $700 be a fair offer.
What! Being fair isn’t the American way.. :0. .. ...give him the grand that would be extreamly fair for him and your conscience will be satisfied.. you know it’s missing the tank and that’s gonna cost...some serious coin and years on the search.
The Black Hawk has the double top tube compared to a single on the Columbia.
Also the front of the rack on the Black Hawk goes around the seat tube and attaches to the tank.
Those are two main differences but I’m sure there are some other subtleties.

The top bar is different on a rollfast, columbia and Elgin model. Columbia has one single top bar, Elgin splits into two bars towards the head tube and Rollfast splits into three bars towards the seat tube.
I think a fair price is the lowest you can get it for and be comfortable paying. If they aren't in the hobby or a friend and found it at a swap then go low and save your money for the needed parts.
I'm thinking $500 is a good deal for both parties. Then again, I frequently overpay, so I'm probably not the best guy to chime in. Good luck and hope you get it. Looks great without a tank .
