freebie... what is it?

[tylordurben]

so my younger bro tells me he has a bike for me. i said cool, bring it. in the box is the front headlights (they are 2 round ones) and the tank w/ horn that flows into the headlights. the bike is very heavy with the rear package tray being part of the frame.

so, anyone know what it could be or what year it may be from? ill check for numbers tomorrow but if there are any it would be under the thick red paint someone put on it.

thanks,
Yaril

Very Cool bike, whatever it is. I also like your truck, how old is it?

 

[tylordurben]

thanks for all the responds. so its looking like a Columbia, ill try and take a pic of the headlight / tank.

im going to search that elvis thread now, thanks.

any ideas as to what year this bike is?

the truck is a '50 GMC.

 

[tylordurben]

no problem, its kinda hard to search around unless you know what to look for, i believe theres a couple more of those bikes floatin around on here somewhere too. ill let ya know if i dig em back up, its a hard frame to forget tho :mrgreen:

Very cool bike. Have fun.

 

[tylordurben]

thanks everybody!

not sure what the plans are for the bike just yet...

bin throwing the idea around of cutting the frame post where the set goes into, just to open up the frame, it seems very sturdy with the package tray hugging everything so it should stay straight.

also want to lower it, a lot.

my bud suggested to somehow raise the rear tire/wheel up through the package tray, that looks great in my head. :lol:
