Saw the advert, but haven't seen a real one. Kind of sad, judging by the picture.

Judging by the photo the only change I would make would be the seat.

also looks more than a little like the Rollfast V200

Sweet, it'll be doing on CL soon enough so that I can take those truss rods and fork off of it.

i called a wally manager,i live in minnesota he said there werent any in stores at least in a 50 mile radius,i haven tried on line

WHY? Why call it the 1937 anything? It's a 2015, and it surely ain't a Columbia. Not fr $150, not for $1.50....

Alistair my friend, you obviously have not been here on the forum long enough then... "Just the seat..."

 

[horsefarmer]

Could be a concept for a future build off. Everyone starts with the same inexpensive bike and makes it their own.

I'm out work dude. It's about the only thing I can afford to do to a bike at this time. Any ways I have OCC and a and Spaceliner that need a ton of work. So money on a new bike has to be well spent,if at all. I think a motor kit would look good too. and a springer fork would look nice. But I'm just judging on what I can do at this time and motor kit and a new fork is beyond what I can do at present. If you want to I need parts for both the Spaceliner and OCC I would appreciate any donation for them.

Well seeing the price of some of the seats out there I guess I can sympathize. Not working myself, has me doing all kinds of stuff I wouldn't otherwise try if I was working... Get your minds out of the gutter, I'm talking about stuff like building wheels!!!

 

[horsefarmer]

Uh Oh, not again....

I really like this. Yeah it's china crap but it's only $150??? That's all we will pay so that's all the effort they will put in it.

Great start to a RRB. Ditch the wheels and get some 3G's

It's just like the mongoose beast though..The crazy will pass...then they will be all over CL.
