Hopefully this is the right place to start this thread. I am building a bike that was inspired in part by the bike in this post here, and also the bikes here. However, I am not trying to build a complete replica, just something with that kind of flavor.
Here is what I have so far:
1950 Columbia 5-Star Superb frame (early Columbia WWII bikes had the curved bottom bar like mine, most had a straight bar, but again I am not being exact).
Correctish fenders that are a little dented up.
WWII Army surplus handlebars (the item that basically started this project off)
Old olive drab canvas handlebar bag
Reproduction Columbia rear rack (not found on army bikes, but needed to hold the....)
Old olive drab canvas saddlebags
Old olive drab...
