A FEW YEARS AGO, I BOUGHT A 1949 COLUMBIA PAPER BOY SPECIAL BLACK WITH IVORY TRIM, THAT HAS ORIGINAL GOODYEAR DOUBLE EAGLE WHITEWALL TIRES, 120 GA. SPOKES, LOBDELL TYPE FLAT DIMPLED RIMS, FRONT WHEEL BRAKE AND SPRING FORK. SORRY I CANNOT FIND A PICTURE OF IT.

Timing is key in collecting.
I have grown to appreciate the bikes that didn't get stripped by the kid that owned it first.
I still add my own personal touch. I love this bike.

I replaced the grips, mismatched pedals to Western Flyer stamped pedals, broken rear reflector with a jeweled one and license topper, added bag hooks and had the original saddle restored.
And easily rode it more than 1000 miles in the first year I got it.

Not sure if this is classified as a heavy service bike, but it sure has pretty stout 1/2" drivetrain. '41 CWC Roadmaster
