So yeah, my camera is DOA at the moment. Luckily Glenn snapped this photo today. Can you see what it is?
I bought this bike from the widow of the great Sheldon Brown. She was at the Larz show selling off some of his old bikes. The bike was labeled "Columbia Springer Proto MTB Frame". It is a 50'-60's Columbia frame with a springer front end. Sheldon added a Schwinn 10 speed crank set-up along with an add on caliper brake in the back, and toe straps. Some other misc parts are still attached as well. This a cool piece of history that I am torn about.
I could take all of Sheldon's parts off and make a nice old Rat Rod from it, or I could finish his job by adding wheels and a few misc items.
It might be up for sale though. I just bought an Elgin too and now I am strapped and need some cash. :shock:
