50's Columbia

[the tinker]

Building a custom out of a Columbia 5 Star. This was a complete bike that I decided to "rat" out. Went from the Columbia springer to the Evans/ Colson. Deciding which guard that will be used. Leaning towards the hockey-stick, over the chrome wing. probably will have a bobbed fender on the rear.

Have had no time to work on bikes this month, so this project is stalled. Didn't like the light, decided to put a machine gun horn on the front. It looks and works good.

The springer that was originally on the black bike is on this red one, showed buried here.

Taking the wheels off the red one to put on the black one. They're nice '40s Westfield chrome ones, and will go good with the black paint.
