1984 Columbia Pro Am
1984 Columbia Pro Am
ALL ORIGINAL Columbia Pro Am 1984?
Just got this thing outta some guys shed. He had it since new. Completely Original, needs a little clean up. If anyone knows anything about this like its worth or any info, I would appreciate it. I'm more of an old school GT cat, but I couldn't resist something this og, even if it's a Columbia. I gotta get a bit of surface rust off this thing, anybody know the best way?

Re: 1984 Columbia Pro Am
I'm sure others may dispute this, but I find that Brillo or SOS pads work the best on minor surface rust. Just get a box of pads, a bucket of warm water, and start rubbing. Hose it off when complete.
You got GT stuff? - Let me know!

The welds on my 83 Columbia look like they came from Welding for Dummies.

There are holes in the bead on the headtube on this one. It's more of a sunday cruiser, be careful hopping curbs!!
