Gem City Strongman
Using the build off as an excuse to put my bike together that I originally wanted to do 6 years ago. Fell in love with all the cruisers people were riding when I was on a trip out to Huntington Beach from Ohio. Came right home bought a 50's Evans Colson off craigslist and started stripping in down. I was instantly over my head for my first attempt to try and build a bike, so it has been sitting in my garage in completely apart for 6 years.
Ive been on RRB this whole time, love everyone's builds but mechanically was in too deep to advance my bike. Got the bug again a few years ago and had a friend weld and bead roll some tank panels on it for me but that's as far as it ever got. Its going to happen this time though!
Decided to go for a little play on words. "EC" for Evans Colson. This is all original equipment to the bike minus the tank panels. Ive got some white walls already for it, looking to use some apes or mini apes, and potentially a banana seat to give it a little sting ray ish flair.
Thanks for checking out my very first build!
