Vintage 1950 Women's Beach Cruiser 26" Columbia Bicycle for sale in San Diego, California

I am regretfully lastly ready to let go of my really first vintage bicycle, a Womens / Girls 1950 (serial number matches 1950 precisely !!) Columbia 26" Five Star Superb. I purchased it about a decade back, and at the time it was a rust bucket !! We did an overhaul of the bicycle and cleaned/greased everything. The bicycle was sanded down and completely repainted with a custom-made professional paint task (Blue pearl / white combination). We had the gear, handlebars, and some various metal pieces rechromed. Included new white wall tires, brand-new customized metal grips, new white pedals, new white seat, new decals, brand-new front fender light, and so on
. At this time, the bike requires some TLC (absolutely nothing significant). The paint has actually held up well, however there are some dings/imperfections from breaking down the bicycle and moving it for many years, but small as you can see in the wedding photos on the kick stand and near the decal on the chain guard. The tires require to be pumped up, and it needs a brand-new inner tube for the back wheel. The front light works, however needs batteries (you can get them at radio shack). The bicycle also needs a back rack at this time. I got a correct columbia back rack for it years back, but wasn't mindful it was bare metal, so it ended up being very rusty. I can include this in the purchase in case you desire to use it.
Besides that, the bicycle is complete with tank. The sprocket/chain is not a skip tooth, so no worrying about replacing costly chains that are no more made, nice.:) All the effort has been done, simply some minor tlc work. Each time I ride this bike I have actually constantly gotten comments and looks, it is truly a stunning bike polished up! I have grown too lazy to stay up to date with it and we have to make space in our utility room so we can get a washer/dryer. I were incredibly lazy with the dreadful pictures which do it no justice, but hi there, it's a large amount, as I do not wish to go with the problem to break it down and ship by means of Ebay.
Serious questions only, regional pick-up in San Diego, CA only, no trades, no lowballers, please !! Other than that, I'm happy to answer any questions. Thank you and have a nice day!
