Sleek mens frame with built in rear rack?

[DeuceWheeler]

I remember seeing a mens frame on here that I thought was super slick looking.
If I remember correctly, it had a dual top tube that continued back behind the seat and looped back to create a rear rack.
Am I dreaming this?

Columbia Firebolt, and in 1963 Newsboy Special. They made women's versions too

There are few nice Columbia Newsboy Specials on this forum.
I really dig the NBS that Critter1 did for the Buildoff-7. viewtopic.php?f=68&t=59878&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=0

The Western Flyer X-53 is another with an integrated rack. I like these mush more than the Columbias.

Here is my X-53. Just a frame (for now) without all the cool stuff for a visual! (forks are not correct, but I needed something to hold it up for a pic)

This one may end up as a franken-rat of some kind. :mrgreen:
