The Starbard "Bolt On" Boardtrack

[Unchained]

I'm excited to be on board for my first buildoff ever!

I am starting with an early Colson 26" camelback frame. Likely from the '20's, as it originally had singletube tires.

The direction for this one is a boardtrack mock. The first part of this plan is to be achieved with a new rear end. I am contriving plans for a fork modification, have located some steel to make a full size tank, the rest will come as I go I guess. I have dug up a few photos from google for inspiration. I'm thinking maroon and cream paint, or maybe baby blue, cream, and red (when I get there), my name on the tank, dunno what else yet... hope you all are liking it so far!

BEFORE:

PROGRESS: new rear end in the works using a detachable CCM rear stay and some other junk...

with a little creative thinking that could definitely be the beginnings of a very cool rear suspension
