Thank you, SAM ........................ patric Reply With Quote .
Thanks for the inquiry Patric.This is just the way Collin and I invisioned this group.
a bit of history on the bike: As I said on the G503 forum this bike is a pieced together but I feel ti repersents a Columbia Military Model--and possably it is a Tru military bike.
I got the frame off ebay several years ago--seller said he though it was a Columbia but not sure.The bike came out of Hawaii and came painted in battleship gray paint(not factory)
It hung in my shop several years while I tryed to piece together what it was.I even looked online at Your(Patric)Flying Merkle,Schwinns,Meads etc.Nothing fit.
So what I.D.s it as a columbia frame? The head tube. Columbia bikes use a Pope or Westfield held pattened head tube.I'll follow-up with some photos.
