How shall I put this? I'd rather have your identity crisis than mine.

Thanks Baron,your're the first to give me a compliment,much appreciated

Added some white for the two tone part,and the rims got some paint faux wood style :mrgreen:

The bike is said to be a Columbia and i like the color scheme of an Iver,i may add some of an Elgin too along the way.
Cheap custom stencils using painters blue tape,whew! :|

Waiting for the white paint to dry,so i can apply the stencils,thanks again fellas. - Owen

This looks like it is going to be a very cool build to follow.

I'M WATCHIN' SO....GET TA BUILDIN'!! PEACE

Looks like you picked a really beautiful bike as a starting point!

I just got an old Elgin 28" frame /fork that I'm going to fix up
using appropriate-looking modern lightweight parts wherever
possible. It will be fun to have a 'skinny tire' (700C x 45 mm) bike that isn't
new and ugly.

I'm looking forward to seeing how yours turns out; so many
possibilities for ornamentation with the 20's and 30's paint schemes.

Thanks Spectratone,hope i can give some inspiration to your next build.

Welcome! hehehe Thanks Sensor,love them truss frames too.

Sorry for the slow progress guys,here's some update on the bike :wink:
Got the rims laced up and tires mounted aswell.

Stencils applied to the frame,IJ style...the triangle on the truss and fork are from an Elgin :?

Here we go with the blue paint,sorry for the poor image quality.

Then after a few hours,i removed the stencils. 8)

Hope you liked it,thanks for the view. -Owen

I like the color on the rims. Frame paint is killer too. Interesting jig you built to hold the frame. :idea:

 

[Cherryboxx]

Great job on the paint. This is going to look really good when you get it together again.

Thanks Peatbog,tried my best.hope i can get it done
