I just bought this today for $115 off Craigslist. While it is clearly a hodgepodge of parts, I feel like the crazy fork/springer/truss/headlight assembly and the Hawthorne pedals are worth my investment. These may end up on my 1930's Columbia/Westfield build. See photos below.
• Could this be a 1930's frame?
• Is this front end authentic? (I mean, I smell a Rat-Rodder in the woodpile here...)
• Clearly this should be a skiptooth, but isn't...right?
• Dig the rims
• Cool FAT fenders, but don't seem to be original
• Seat is a <gorgeous> Del Sol I just added for the test ride, seat that came with it was not original
Anyhow, I'd appreciate any insights before I decide to tear this down for parts.
Thanks,
Tim
