Not sure which tank. How about a pic with the old tank, without the light. That old tank looks pretty cool even with no headlight.

Re: new photos of my columbia bicycle

howdy the RAT TRAP fork came and it fit on my columbia it wiggles a little bit at the top which means it just barely fit but i got it im really proud of myself i know i sound to you preatty stupid but im really happy about it i never could do that stuff before but i figured iT out the stem on my columbia was to big so i used a stem from a girls rollfast banana bike and i added a 20 inch mongoose wheel in the front i will post photos sometime tommarow

Hey JF86, You don't sound "pretty stupid" at all, you do however seem to want to learn everything you can about wanting to build and repair your bikes yourself which that to me is "pretty cool". Besides all of us on here had to start somewhere and this is definitely the place to learn and get great advice from other people and you SHOULD feel proud of your accomplishments. Each of us on this site at some point have stepped back and looked at our projects and felt proud of what we've done.
I'm looking foward to your pics tomorrow.

Re: UPDATED PHOTOS OF MY COLUMBIA 2/10/2009!!!

In the very last picture it looks like tou may be missing the top bearing. THe stem isn't sitting centered in the steer tube. But it looks good with the rat trap man!

Re: UPDATED PHOTOS OF MY COLUMBIA 2/10/2009!!!

It's hard to tell the close up. maybe step back a little, and try shooting a head-on pic too, as that will give us a more overall picture. It looks more straight, but without being there or seeing more of the bike, it's hard to tell...
