Nice find. I love the chainguard, but my favorite part is that tag!
I am going to file that idea away in my brain to try to copy.

If I use this as a base for the build for my friend it will end up something like this. Her choice not mine.

I have seen a couple of fabric and decopauge bike around town and they are pretty cool. Just don't cover that beautiful guard with fabric.
I saw one bike that was decopauged with nothing but some old cigarette coupons (Raleigh or Benson & Hedges) it was pretty cool.

I may keep the guard and swap it out for another if she want it covered as well.

How cool is this? I've never come across one before. Is this common?

That is a chain oiler. I don't know on this model, but some for some of the early '60s cruisers it does have some value as a nice option.

Looking good They are normal for early 60's Columbia's, my 62' Firebolt has it :wink:

Since I'm actually building this now, I moved it over to the "builds" thread.
