Any info on this bike? Columbia Super 3 Speed Town Bike
Found this on craigslist for $100. Is it worth it or should I bring down the price? Also, I apologize for my ignorance that I don't know anything about this bike and brand. Hopefully someone can help. Thanks!

They're decent quality bikes. For that price, it needs to be just your size and mint. They aren't really collectable yet but they will be in about 5 years.

Columbia bikes were widely despised back then. One would usually find them left out in yards over winter. Once a person had a chance to try a new Peugeot or something back then - Columbia bikes were widely considered crap.
But there were/are those who stood by them - all 1,000 pounds - and, today, even collect them. I wouldn't shell out $100 back then for one. And not today, either.
