I don't think Ingola needs convincing. He needs to be convinced to stop. Making his friends jealous

Killer scores. I would love to find a Fire Arrow. There have been a few here on RRB. @gsc modified one nicely for one of the build offs years ago.

I got that pile for 200 bucks

Here is @gsc Fire Arrow build.

Delinquent

Well out from behind again...whew! Started with a 64 Columbia Fire arrow, ( I think) anyways had plans for dual front wheels but I nixed plans from a safety issue, and the fact it was just not flowing right. I ended up laying back the seat post 6 inches and extending where the rear wheel mounts...

May change my build plans

It sure must be nice to have a honey hole or two to visit.
I'm thinking your Western Flyer(?) tank bike has a one year only shoulder fork and cast light mount. I forget what year...'39, '40...'uh 41 my best guess.
It looks like an ideal new OA Bath Toy. There could be a pleasing original ref and white finish under the charming oxidation.
I Dig It! If you consider rehoming it sometime and travelling west, I'm just down the 401 a ways.

Cool Columbia too, looks to be 24"? Any plans? Curious is all.

Hope you didn't measure the steerer... Would look great on RockRat.

The joke here is that the GT stem I have for RockRat is too long... I didn't measure

Raleighs first attempt at bmx

I saw that frame, but the fork was too scary. I dig the double tubes.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Yessssss look at that gusset! The fork is something special too!

I have that fork missing top plate but I can make that much better the chopper

I wanted it even though I hated it, and don't like muscle bikes. I could see the potential of the frame. That BMX build is a thousand times cooler
