This year we've been working on restoring this 1980s Columbia three speed cruiser. While a small group, the Bicycle Mechanics Club draws from all three divisions, with our youngest member in fourth grade, and the oldest a senior. John, Brandon, Farouq, Jake, JJ, and Jessie have been working on this project since the winter. We started the project by taking the bike apart to its most elementary components, and repainting the frame, which was originally silver, a sporty candy apple red. With its light color tires and silver metal parts, we can easily recognize the MPH red and white colors.
