Sounds good!
uh oh. I just found a '48 Columbia straight bar, wishbone, loop tail frame that would be perfect to build a klunker around this ORBO.

don't think i've ever seen a loop tail columbia, got any pics?uh oh. I just found a '48 Columbia straight bar, wishbone, loop tail frame that would be perfect to build a klunker around this ORBO.
I'm probably describing it wrong, Schultzie. But it has a wishbone (single tube) coming off the seat tube at seat stay and the chain stay; and both stays are just one continuous rounded 'loop' and then the meet at the rear dropouts.
In this photo of a Columbia frame I have, the seat stay is the same shape. On the bike I'm looking at, it is a single 'mono' tube instead of the twin tubes in this design.
And here is a side profile from when this bike was my Four-gone Conclusion build.
@OddJob Is it the frame from four-gone conclusion?

The one in the photos I sent idiotboy are of my Four-gone Conclusion. This other one I want to use is down in AZ. I'm currently trying to secure it without being there yet.
He is moving on the 21st to Colorado, and we don't arrive till Jan 2. Finagling.
I hope it works out in the Finagling. Sounds like a cool bike to build up and rat out.The one in the photos I sent idiotboy are of my Four-gone Conclusion. This other one I want to use is down in AZ. I'm currently trying to secure it without being there yet.
