Columbia vintage girls bike
Columbia vintage girls bike, Can anyone advise where we can locate parts as well as a photo of the bike when it was new. Also would anyone know the approximate value I believe it’s a 1973 to 1975 model year

Essentially no value ($5 to $15 if it is complete and not rusty). By the 1970s, Columbias were the very cheap, discount store bikes. That plus kids bikes rarely have value, and girls bikes even less value. On parts, find another kid's bike from that era, either via C/L or at a co-op. The children's bikes from that era that do have value are the boys Stingray and even more so the Krate model bikes. Collectors tend to buy the bikes they wish they could have afforded as kids. So no one is collecting the discount brand stuff. Instead, they are seeking the bikes the rich kid down the street owned.
Columbia in the 1970s is like Next brand bikes today.
Best way to find photos is to google search it, then click on images.
