1892 Columbia CENTURY model # 30
This “safety” bike was named the Century because it was built 400 years after Columbus discovered America. It came with a 30 inch front wheel and a 28 inch rear wheel. It has pneumatic tires, which were the newest in tire technology for that time. It is un-restored and complete except for the brake. The catalog states that some people may remove the brakes to reduce weight. Strange for this to be in print!
