Year of this Columbia?

[Superman1984]

I believe it should be an R serial based on the built in kickstand but You experts know based on experience of parts ???

 

[Superman1984]

Is it early / mid 50s to 59 Fire Arrow?

I was going to say about 58ish and yes I think Fire Arrow. Guard missing, wrong seat, fork crown cap missing. Does it have a geared hub? V/r Shawn

Not sure. Didn't get the chance to check it that thoroughly but I am going to check it out some more tomorrow with better pics. They want $200-250 for it but I am going to see if I can get it reasonably. Anything specifically to be a indicator or sure sign of the geared hub?

We see a slotted rear axle (Bendix); wrong horn.

Hi All

If it is R17176X (can't read the last number), then late 1950.

Best Regards,

Something is up with that serial. I believe the bike is late 50s. I’m thinking about $75 and that’s if the tank is solid. Otherwise just keep moving. V/r Shawn
