I actually started a thread for this build in the summer for the Rat Rod Build Off, but the only thing I had a chance to do was mock up some parts on the frame. I was waiting for the frame to come back from powder coating and it never did. Therefore I'm picking up where I left off.
The idea is a larger version (26/20) of the iconic Canadian CCM muscle bike, the Cobra. This was a one year bike, and many collectors would argue it's the most sought after nanner north of the border. I, unfortunately do not own one yet, so therefore I must build one. However it wouldn't be any fun for me to just build a replica. I gotta go custom.
The above pic shows the last three frames I sent off to powder. The Columbia on the right turned into my custom 5 speed Tail-Dragger pictured below. I could have saved it for the build off, but I was much to eager to build it. The frame in the middle has been powder coated black and is ready to go for King Cobra. The red frame on the left is still awaiting it's coat of powder, so it might be a second entry when I get the King Cobra done. It's a little chilly out this evening and I feel the winter in the air. I'll definitely be doing some hibernating in the shop this season throwing some bicycles together. Can't wait for some free time.
