The bike listed for sale is a real, full size bike with 26" wheels. Not a model, but every search leads to a model. Thats why I'm asking about it. If anyone is curious its on the goodwill auction site. half hour left at $200

Probably an 80's(90's?) Columbia reissue, like the green one you posted up.

Its so nice that I figured its a reproduction...

From what I've heard, they used original tooling to re-issue these bikes, so they're not really a repop. Not from the 50's, but still a decent built bike.

The bike in the Goodwill auction is the full size bike reproduced by Columbia in the mid eighties. Someone put Xonex in the description but Xonex was the model version Shawn posted.
