My Columbia and Western Flyer

Hi, here are some photos of my rides. First is the 1946 Columbia with a 48cc GruBee:

Thanks!

The Columbia has got to be the best looking bike ever. You have captured the look of a classic, I think the painted rims always make the bike. I love the tires. Have fun, Dave

Wow! I'm humbled by your praise. Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately the photo doesn't show some of the details very well, such as the 1941 bicycle license plate on the back or the mud flap. Since the photo was taken, I have also replaced the seat with a black retro-style one that has chrome rails. Really sharp!

Thanks for all the kind words about the bikes. It makes me want to go out and build another! lol I found a good shot of the Western Flyer from a different angle: http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z21/KilroyCD/My Bikes/ag13003.jpg
I'm still looking for a shot of the Columbia with the new seat. I'll post it once I find one.

Not the best photo...

Here's a shot of the Columbia (looking a little dirty and tired) with the new seat. She'll get a good cleaning and some TLC over the winter.

Again!

I think we should all have another look at these bikes again. I don't know about you guys, but I think they pretty much define my aspects of what this "add a motor to a bike syndrome" is all about. I love em!
