Columbia klunker

[armandgil]

The latest and final version of my clunker build which started about 2 years ago. I finally got a set of wheels with a nexus hub in the rear and switched out the large maxxis tires with a set of Kenda small block 8's that still have some grip but roll much nicer. I also put the tank back on, which I know is a klunker no-no but it looked so cool with it on I had to. I have been thinking about selling it so I thought I better post it one last time. :mrgreen:

The tank just adds more weight for those downhill runs.

Looks great.

= soooooooooo much faster :mrgreen:

The tank didn't add that much weight.. :lol: ... but the new tires make a really cool sound going fast on pavement.

I really like the frame and the tank especially good choice!

I have been on holidays for a couple of weeks and got everything I needed to do done in a couple of days. So I started messing around with my bikes and started with the Columbia. I realized I didn't have an actual cruiser left after turning everything into klunkers so the Columbia got de-klunked and the Kona is now my super-klunker! I'll post pics. of that later but for now...the Columbia cruiser.

Not quite done yet, gonna get new tires for the S-7's and change over the crank and sprocket to more of a vintage look but you guys get the idea.

I think that a period stem, crank assembly, and a period leather Troxel would add a lot.

Sweet looking bike!

Got bored again. Yes that is a threadless headset and an uber rare Rino crank. I think I'll be keeping this one a little longer.

Looks good especially with the Kona P2 fork. Reminds me of the Columbia I put a P2 fork on.

Looks good,especially with correct sprocket. reminds ME of the first go-round of my frame used in the build off, except no black crank, Carlyle tires (closer fit in later skinnier frame)and Schwinn store chrome add-on fork (welded on front dropouts instead of tips)

 

[deorman]

No orange wheels either. :|

I think I like it most with the knobs and motorcycle style handlebars. Looks like it just wants to go tooooo fast.

Hi,
If you have that old handlebar laying around I'll buy it from you. Let me know.
Thanks,
