You can still find them occasionally at Yard Sales and on CL. Both of these just purchased in the past 3 months.
Blue bike probably mid 50's made by Colson. Red bike is 1936 Columbia with 2 speed hub. Currently refurbing the Flyer and haven't decided what to do with the Columbia as finding a buying the missing original parts would probably cost more than its' worth.
