Hi all.
Found this site after a thread on the HAMB on motorized bicycles and recently I came across this 63 Columbia and picked it up with the intention of putting a motor on it. Just got a 2 cycle kit and am just getting on with the build.

Where's the LC?

Where's the LC?

North of Columbus, south of Delaware. Lewis Center. The LC is a standing joke among some friends, derived from my play on words regarding the show "The OC". It's funny to me at least.

Thanks, but it's not too nice. I definitely won't feel bad about cutting and welding on it. It's not all original or in great shape, but it's a good start for a project.

The plan is too add the two stroke and build a tank to go between the frame tubes. Possibly a springer fork, leaf spring type. I've got an idea in my head I'm kicking around for that. I'll be going for a vintage board track look for the most part.
