In addition to all original and restored bikes, I am into custom bikes as well. This is the kickoff of my new cruiser. That 51 Columbia frame I was trying to ident is going to be the basis of a trike build. I have an old trike conversion with 20 in. wheels on it going on the back, and the front is going big wheel style with a 26 in. wheel and fork combo. I'm not sure what the paint is going to be yet, maybe blue, or maybe orange. Red is also a possibility. Tell me what yall think, I would love to here your thought's on the matter. As soon as I can get some pictures of it I will be posting them. Until then, Preserve Vintage. Big John
Well, so much for the trike idea. I decided to go this route instead. Don't worry about the trike conversion though, I will use that on something, eventually. It will get painted, I'm thinking a dark blue more than likely. I haven't decided on the seat as yet. It's going to be either a springer saddle, or a banana seat. Black in color though.
