GO George Jetson!!!

Postby KZ1000 on Mon Jan 05, 2009 10:35 pm

Don't know about the name yet, I'm in on what will be my first build, Just wanted to get a pic in of what I am starting with, I am leaving tomorrow to attend my son's graduation from Marine Boot camp in S. Carolina so I won't get started on this for a week or two, I have some goodies set aside and what I think are some neat ideas, More to Come

Definitely a Columbia, but I'm pretty sure that the Fire Arrow was a traditional cantilever frame.

THey don't go past the front tube. But in an earlier post about KZ's bike, it looked to me like someone cut the tubes and crimped them around the headstock. Like they may have at one time extended past the front.
Nice to have you here KZ. I almost used my fire arrow for this build-off, but decided I wanted to try to keep that one stock-ish. Boring, I know, but I've never seen another one like it besides yours. Can't wait to see how it turns out. :mrgreen:
