:cry:so cool, I want one bad but the wife unit says five vintage folders are enough! I wish there were better pics, the fork separates from the frame, it has a square seat post, each handlebar goes into its own side of the fork and its made of hevium! Someone should buy this and let me ride it.

Same here. If I buy another bike my wife would give me the heavium-hovium.

Bike yes, folder I don't see it. When I was a kid I had a bike with similar style of handle bars. I removed the banana seat and replaced it with a saddle that had springs on it. I did so much jumping with that bike that I broke the handle bars. From there it went to the landfill. So is this bike a classic or just an old bike? Wouldn't a R20 be more desirable? Let me guess you already have one of those.

The handlebars are the same as a Columbia playbike! It doesn't fold but separates. Yes I have a twenty.

Ahh, now I know what a playbike is. Always something to learn. Check this out before it is gone. http://newlondon.craigslist.org/bik/1551109863.html

I thought you had posted in the wrong forum.

Sometimes a tandem turns out to be a divorce bike because, wherever your relationship is headed, a tandem will get you there quicker.

wow

when I was a kid I had one of these ..... in Germany even ( my dad was selling pedals to Columbia ) Everybdody else had Bonanza bikes with banana seats and funky shifter between your legs ( ouch, whose idea was that anyhow ?) and I had this horrendeous take apart bike ... I swear it was 50 lbs heavy ..... and that silver chainguard was supposed to snap in like a tupperbox ... it came loose all the time and made shrieking noises when pedalling ...
It was such an awful bike ..I hated it
