I'm in again. With another Columbia like last year

You might remember the derelict Newsboy I rescued on its way to the landfill

Plan is for a 26" bmx/klunk/strandie thing and a few shiny surprises along the way.



She won't be some super intense build with a ton of unobtanium vintage bits. Just my spin on a classic to bomb around town on and maybe hit the pub with @Dr. Tankenstein and @kingfish254 sometime

A little bit old, a little bit new, a lot of it RRB sourced, and none of it blue

Every single part is out of a parts pile or previously sourced. Local, interwebs, and parts from fellow RRB'ers

I don't think I'm going to accomplish splatter paint for @MattiThundrrr , but hopefully I'll earn his stamp of approval with something similar

Ahoy, the Captain is aboard! Sounds like a solid plan!

RaT oN!
 
I'm digging this. Are you staying with the 12 gauge spoke steel rims? Them are tough as a $2.00 steak. Them stock newspaper delivering bars are sweet but probably not right for this build.

Yes sir. Those wheels are tanks. I never got the ano red alloy ones I previously wanted, so these it is
 
I like the metallic colors! With you as the 'Captain' you could rename it " Showboat". :wondering::rolleyes::bigsmile:
 
No building today. Played hooky and rode a bit. A very pleasant but windy day here in our little island community. Took the newest addition (Bucky) out for a jaunt Today was the annual group ride & festival to benefit the Boys and Girls club

Bucky really seems to take to the basket riding for only being 11 weeks old
