YOU. LUCKY. DOG! That is awesome! Good chance it is a Westfield/Columbia, thought the chainring is Snyder. Iver Johnson invented that truss bar frame style, but had their own 3 piece cranksets. I don't think Snyder made a truss frame, I know Schwinn did though. -Adam

Good day guys, i'll be building this bike but i still don't know the make and model of it.
Some said it's a Columbia but the frame doesn't look the same,here is one done by a member here...kindly check it out



thank you for your time and comments

It could be a columbia, but it's hard to say as it looks like a lot of the bike is not original. Columbia's frames show a lot of variation as they changed them a bunch through the years, the early arch bar frames are quite different from the late arch bar frames. The fork looks snyder/rollfast, but it looks like it is a later fork than the rest of the bike.

Thanks man for your reply,appreciate it.Yup i guess all i have to do is just rebuild it,with it's parts all mixed up,it's doomed to be Ratted-out... Ride safe
