Is this Columbia thunderbolt worth restoring

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

... only the person doing the work can tell if it was "worth it". I put $400.00 into a bike I may never even get $200.00 for. still looking for a seat bag and generator light set that will add another $100.00 to the tab. a normal person would have bought it for much less than I paid, taken the brake levers, the razor stem and a few bits off and scrapped the rest. I consider normal to be boring and avoid it at all costs.

what kind of generator and light set are you looking for.

Agreed. Quality paint, having water slide decals custom made, chrome, and cad I’m seeing about $2k for a $250 bicycle when done. V/r Shawn

Yea I’m more of a DIY and plan on doing it all myself. Again, more for my enjoyment and satisfaction
