Re: The Board Track Racer, Briggs powered---PAINTED!!! This might be a dumb question and I may have overlooked it during the build......but how does the briggs motor not overheat without the cooling tin?

Well finally finished about a month ago and FINALLY took some pics! Already planning my next bike I should be picking it up Thursday!

Screwed up my head tube install cut it too short! Mike at Vintage bicycle supply came through and helped me get it right! Hoping to have this puppy together for a test ride this week! :)

My ratrodbikes.com nameplate came super quick! Can't wait to use that thing as the head badge!

Finally some progress! Thanks to Vintage Bicycle Supply for the sweet new parts (springer, crank, chain) I hope to have this thing together soon!

Got the frame back form powder coating it looks pretty good, but next time I will probably just paint it myself. Now that its been all cleaned I can read the serial number M06 005020 on one side and N6847557 on the other. From what I can find online that makes it a 66? Also this was on the...

Thanks for the heads up. I guess someone fitted a columbia badge on it to fool people? ............ either way its going to be a fun build. In the powder coat shop now and can't wait to re-assembel it!

Thanks! I was hoping a 3 speed hub would fit. There is a shimano 2 spd hub fro around 80 bucks that may work nice. I didn't think it was too rare, but its fun to ride and the wide make a big difference. Funny how hard turns can put you on two wheels haha and then ride that way for a while...

This sounds like good times hoping to make it there!

Finally ble this thing apart and the frame is in the powder coat shop! Hoping it gets done in time for the suzie burger show on the 14th.

I ended up putting 2.25 inch tires to replace the 1.75's that were there not the fenders don't fit. Time to modify some more I guess. I'll try to post up some pics soon.

Looks like an axle goes to the left side and has what looks to me like a regular hub, but I could be wrong? I think I'd like some fatter tires on it, I was thinking of sticking with whitewalls or maybe some fat all white or creme colored tires. At least fatter in the back and maybe thinner up...

My first Trike! I don't know anything about it yet, but its an AMF trike looks like original paint. Needs new tires but not much cleanup to get it looking good! :) Not sure yet if I should stick with whitewalls or red tires or all white tires or what? Suggestions? ITs hard to see that it...

Well still haven't stripped the paint. Weather has been pretty rainy! I did mark the fenders where I want to bob them and have been thinking about how I'm going to prep everything. Also I have been making plans for the trailer I intend to pull the kids in. I'm going to modify a canvas style...

That thing is cool! IT looks fast just sitting there!

Well its been forever since I have posted, but Y'know how the holidays and winter go! Bout time to start getting going on this thing. I thin I willl get the paint stripper out and get the frame all cleaned up then ready for paint. I have a plan worked out for paint and the fenders on this...

Re: The boardtrack- bobber-bicycle looking thing... haha! I had to read that twice! But I finally got it LOL.

Re: The boardtrack- bobber-bicycle looking thing... This is an awesome Thread! My borther and I used to build mini bikes with Briggs 5 horse motors. There is a lot youcan do with those motors to pump them up. I'm reall considering a build like this in the future! Keep up the good work can't...

Re: Early 60's Columbia uhhh...Murray? Well yanked the fenders and definitely going to move the seat back some by modding the post. But got the red tires on with new tubes from Ray at vintage bike warehouse. I think after working out the bugs and getting everything the way I want it, it will...

What tells you its a Murray? Is it still a 60's model? I actually grew up in Herald and went to Galt high Graduated in '97 I actually picked up this one at their Bike Swap last weekend I think Mike sold it to me if I'm not mistaken, lots of cool bikes there! Also I'm glad to see so many VW...
