I got this badly damaged 47 Columbia frame awhile ago, and with a horribly bent rear triangle now relatively straight with torch and bending work.. It is interesting because of the reverse dropouts w/o micro adjusters. It sports a 5/8th" post and came with the headset cups and seatpost bolt...
I'm thinkin the wester flyer twinspring fork stripped to bare metal, running the skip-drive sprocket
crankset/sachs driegang 3spd coaster/Schwinn script front hub/a prewar seat of some sort with fresh leather, and a superlight wheel build w/cr18's 36hole/db wheelsmiths/dt red alloy nips/high pressure bontrager hank 2.35's... I like the Shelby flyer bars shown, and will run the hercumatic shifter with the 511 rear hub....parts i'm thinkin shown below...stay posted and shoot me some ideas.....I may leave the frame as you see it with some more tweaks....
