I re acquired my old cruiser from a friend after ten years of storage. Looks just like it did when I left it but a few more scratches. I originally acquired this frame from an old service manager of mine back in 2001. It was flat black and built as a Klunker with bull-moose handlebars, drum brakes, and a 12 speed drivetrain. I converted it back to a cruiser with full fenders and installed a AMP research suspension fork. I called it modern springer technology as the damper was blown and felt like a pogo stick!
Ten years later its back in my possession and I am wondering what it was/is. I believe from what research I have done it is a Columbia from '56, but would like a little confirmation on that. Wondering what to do with it, restore it since '56 was the year my mom was born and she recently passed, rat out similar to how I had it done before, or build for the ORBO since it was a Klunker when it first came into my possession.
And the AMP Research fork I had on it:
Let me know what you guys think!
