COLUMBIA 5 SPEED

THIS IS THE BIKE I HAD AS A CHILD, WANTED A RALEIGH CHOPPER BUT RECEIVED THIS, I HAD TO WORK AND BUILD MY OWN CHOPPER.  SKY BLUE 3 SPEED 1970
MY ACTUAL BIKE DIDN'T LOOK THIS GOOD WHEN I WAS FINISHED WITH IT.COLUMBIA HAD TO REPLACE THE FRAME UNDER WARRANTY, I INSTALLED A TALL SISSY BAR. NOT SURE WHAT I DID WITH THE BIKE, FOUND THIS BIKE ON EBAY, LIKE NEW CONDITION.

  1. I have this bike in black and had it in yellow but sold it. I would like to find a white one...white muscle bikes are few and far between.

    1. This is the only picture I've found of my bike. When I lived in Albany. New York. My grips looked identical to this one so, close, but not sure if this is same year. I thought my shifter was a bit different. And my bike was a vibrant green. Metalic I think. And I think maybe I had whitewalls. More of a knobby tires

  2. hi Sergio
    Columbia made changes year to year, and as parts ran out, if you are ever back in NY I am 50 miles north of Albany, thanks steve
