Title: Highwheel needed for museum in St. Johns, home of the high wheel band
Post by: robike on April 17, 2019, 08:28:21 PM

I was contacted by the St. Johns historical museum in reference to purchasing a high wheel for permanent display at their museum.  I have loaned them one in the past, but now they want their own bike.  They were looking at a replica and I told them to wait until I could see what I could find.  This will never be ridden but needs to be presentable and stand on its own. They have a budget of aprox. $1200 so if you have a wall hanger we can make look presentable, please let me know.  I personally have a soft spot for this group, as it was being in the bike band that Alex Pollack did in 1992 that got me into antique bikes in the first place.

I have a original Columbia Expert wall hanger but the price would be $2000 plus shipping.

Randy,
I had emailed you photos on May 13th of the Columbia Expert I have for sale (not the one on ebay now).
Let me know if you got the photos and if the museum is interested.
