Columbia Torpedo Vintage Restoration

This is the restoration of a vintage 1965 Columbia Torpedo. Bought the frame (as a complete bike) at a local bike shop for cheap. I know the finished product isn't a 100% replica, but I figured I'd revive an old frame. Please leave comments and let me know what you guys think!!!

Looks good. However the zip ties bring it down a notch

Nice bike, you did a really good job and when you get older you can restore the bike back to its original specs.

Thanks, all that neon crap is removable so I can still keep it origional

it would look nicer with a banna seat, a sissy bar, and some fenders.
