Traveling found a columbia

[Duneracer]

looking at a Columbia I found traveling as I am trying to do research thought I would ask if this is a good serial number. B 132 238 the first letter is eight or B And another number 019J2 any help on the year would be great .there is a lock on the Springer fork

Do you have any pics of the bike? There are several members that'll be able to help you out on here especially @MrColumbia if he's available.

A pic of the bike will definitely help you get the info your wanting

Sounds like a 50s five star.

I'm thinking its OG with replaced pedals. I've had prewar bikes with the same pedals. I don't think they ever came on any old brand from the factory.

I don't know that for sure. I've never owned one. But I'm sure the repop ones didn't have new departure hubs.

It's a repop five star fro the early 1980s.
