What Bike did this tank come from? pic

I bought this columbia straight tank and it has a cool atomic graphic on it. I was wondering what model it came off of, and if anyone has a pic of the whole bike. Thanks in advance.

good point. It was sold to me as a columbia straight bar tank. So I think I will edit my headline.

It's a Columbia tank , I have the same one on my pieced together project. Mine came off a 1957 Columbia built Western Flyer middleweight . I don't recognize those graphics on yours .

I think I just saw one on ebay that was from a Columbia and had the same graphics

good find, thats cool. I wish I could see the head badge. well I guess im on the hunt for a chain guard that looks like that. I bought a JC Higgins one that didnt fit at all.

Love that tank! Man, if I walked up on something like that, I would be breaking my arm to get my wallet out. We just don't have shows like that in good ol' Indiana. At least not to my knowledge.
