I had a columbia made as a promo for pepsi cola. It was an ok bike nothing special but solid and well made. I had a columbia forget the model that had rear dropouts that were just crimped into the frame it was a a piece of , well you know. I made a work stool out of it and used the shorty fenders on a couple other bikes, every bike has value. Its like asking if schwinn is good varsity latour paramount it depends on the model.
