If this is what vintage names have become...

C'mon Mike with the tall frame available, if that was branded Colson you'd be all over it

The current owners of the Columbia name did a better job as far as styling. I built a couple of board track style bikes with these frames and tank panels a few years ago for my son & I.View attachment 1129462

Yeah... You can make those look cool with a little effort. Nice build!

Thanks! The guy I sold the one pictured above to motorized it, changed the graphics, and gave it to his girlfriend a couple of years ago for Christmas. He sent me this picture.

Nice! I like the old graphics better though.

well in their defense when they bought Schwinn all the bought were the rights to the names. may as well use them, the people who buy these bikes don't care

I’d buy it for the wheelset, 3 speed 27.5 coaster brake with white tires, I could think of a few frame sets that would look cool on

Other than the way over prices for a china taiwanese bicycle & that ugly mountain bike schwinn those other bikes are tributes to the appearances of vintage bicycles but maybe not so much American Made Quality. Be glad some Schwinn was considered worth duplicating . Sorry Schwinn guys jus' ribbing but I would own a modern repop if the price was right. I bought a woman's 26" with the push button Nexus Shimano for parts Too but it rides too nice to rip apart. Was even black & white w/ red pinstripes

Funny thing is I see repop bikes & parts being priced just as high if not more than some new pieces on ebay. I know they are pretty shunned but I guess if you can drive the price of Chinese made "Collectible" "junk" up to vintage prices then shame on the fool who maybe pays it. What do I know though I am new here & over pay $50-75 for the worthless junk I own any ways. They Ride Nice for bikes in the end anyways

"You got a warrant?"

Does kinda remind you of a "futuristic" police looking bicycle doesn't it? Like I said I see some potential coolness in some of these ....maybe when the prices are right I'll find 1. Lol
