Hi
I am new to the site.
I am building a boardtrack '51 Columbia.
We'll see how it goes.

Pictures! Pictures!

Of course you'll need to post 5 post then you can load them up.

Here's the general idea.
The seat will be laid back and the tank will be integral, but probably not exact like the stock tank.
The bars have been cut at the bend above the grips.
I am trying to find hubs and spokes to utilize the original rims.

Where did you find that bike?? I've been looking for something like that for months. That is going to be one cool ride. Are you planning to make the tank functional? You gotta!
Send pix of the completed project, please. Congratulations and welcome to the group.
I'd be interested in seeing a closer look at your rear, (lower) engine mount. Looks like a post running from the frame up to the engine?

That is gonna be suweeet! Tyreslider does custom wheel stuff. Has a link in the swap section.

Edit; here is a link to his post. http://motorbicycling.com/f23/mb-whe...some-5494.html
