Advice on Columbia Tourist, SA hub
Found a fairly decent (sort of) Columbia Tourist at the local thrift for the princely sum of $4.99. Now I know I'm going to come off looking like a cheap so and so, but my question isn't if the bike's worth it, but if I have to rebuild or repair the Sturmey Archer mechanism, would it still be worth spending a whopping five bills? The plans for this bike are to disassemble, repaint the frame in the traditional Marshall Fields alternating green stripe pattern (for nostalgia's sake), and have my friend Jody ride til she pukes (about 3 miles).
