Found my BO12 frame

[GuitarlCarl]

Don't know what it is YET... but I like it. Classic rat, I think its an Elgin but I came here before going to Google images.
I also have a thread up at I.D. and Valuations...

I also found these cool seats... a Brooks B72 unused and a cool Troxel.

20 bucks for the frame, 20 bucks for the seats! Woohoo!

Westfield (Columbia) built

Columbia/Westfield. I'm not sure when Westfield built Elgins (Sears brand) but they did at one time, so it could be.

Killer deal for $40 total!!!
Great og paint too!!

Paint had me thinking Columbia, must be right with the other confirmation^^^

Columbia, and look what else I found out HERE.
That's pretty cool. It has a black stem and headset too, so it leads me to believe it is one of them.
Now what to do, what to do...

Now you need some ND Blackout hubs
Or do your own blackout treatment to different parts

Yeah it's a cool idea, and here I was thinking modern drivetrain. Maybe a modern take on the blackout scheme. It has had a few weld repairs and I'm not too keen on restorations. But I do like themes...
Blackout. Hmm...

Scrap wheels, but enough to see the potential.
Probably use the front axle with a better rim I have.
I also found a black crank in my stash.
Thinking of using a kickback hub I have...
and lacing it to a 57mm rim.
I also have a chrome rat trap I'll have to dig out.
Seems like it's all built in my head already!

I didn't notice it before, but it looks like the fork is bent

Saw the other post first, fork idea is cool. Rattrap is always stylish.

Similar to one I have waiting in the wings.

Yep I'm stylin' it too. Anyone can have a Kota style bent fork... What about the original bent fork from smackin' into stuff [emoji88][emoji88][emoji88] it's the [emoji378] diggity.
