1955 Columbia "Three Star DeLuxe" # A162633
August 7, 2010
On Saturday August 7, 2010 my wife brought this bicycle home from a church auction...she paid $42.50 for it. While I understand that a true collector would not approve of a full paintjob and replacement of some key parts, this project is intended to be a "revitalization" over a "restoration". My intensions are to make this bicycle truely "mine", and add another 55 years to it's life (hopefully)!
Relacing Wheels
I had the original wheels to this bike powder coated, and wanted to try my hand at relacing the spokes. Many attempts, and no cuss words later...SUCCESS!!
