Hey everyone, my name is Morgan I'm 31 live in Norcal and I just bought an early 60's (at least thats what I think it is) columbia bike. I think it has a lot of potential and I look forward to building this over the next few months. So far I think I will paint it black, ad or build a tank of some sort for it, and put in a shimano 3 spd rear hub with coaster brake....oh and brick red tires. This is my first old bike and I don't know much about them, but I have lots of mechanical ability....so wish me luck, I'm sure I'll have lots of questions for you guys.
Questions like can I fit a springer front end on this?
Do most of you prefer powder coat or paint?
And how do I remove the head badge without damaging it?
Here is a pic of my new ride.
Any and all input is appreciated
