I need help building a Columbia Westfield

[jeep44]

The early wartime Columbias had a curved down tube, as did the Huffmans. Both later changed to straight down tubes. Johan has a photo of one on his website.

Yes, I know. Being post war I don't know if any of their frames had the flanges still. Did the civilian Westfields ever have a straight tube during the war? They kept on making the curved down tube from until when? '49?

Could someone make measured drawings of the two truss rod brackets and tell me how thick they are? It seems easy enough to make...

I got a dogleg crank but it seems the cups/bearings are too large. Is it possible to get smaller parts that fit this crank?

You may have a crank for a 28" bike frame.
