As stated above several times, this is not a Colson, but a Snyder built bike. Additionally, Colsons use 3/4" seatposts, not 13/16".

Forgot to update this a while back. Project was sold locally. Thanks guys.

Great start to a resto or custom build. Includes frame, fork, fenders, tank and chainguard. I have no other parts for this bike, but parts should not be difficult to find should you go all original or with modern pieces. Note- will need a complete headset (available for approx $10 at your local...

Good to see another ladies bike saved & enjoyed. Definitely Huffman built.

:tmi:

Not an expert here either. There are several similar double bar frames around that same period. Colson even had a similar fork with a forward tab to attach the front fender to. This frame is definitely not Colson tho. Here is a Colson

That '36 Colson ended up in a good home:D

Thinking it's CWC. Not Colson rear "dropouts".

Great deal here on the older edition Colson book. A wealth of knowledge! http://thecabe.com/forum/threads/2-original-nbj-colson-books.103117/

Here's one I picked up recently. Pretty crusty with a lil red showing through in spots. I'm tempted to clean it up as you have, but I think I'll enjoy it as is for the time being...

Consider yourself quite lucky as the paint on these Colsons is notorious for not holding up very well. Too bad you weren't able to find the rest of the missing parts. Looks like a great start to a nice project!

This frame was introduced in 36 and made until around 39 or so. I'd have to check out my Colson book. The bike first posted in this thread is a 36 or 37, as the tall LWB frame was made for only 2 years.

Looks like about a 38 Colson. Never seen one with that badge before. Pretty cool:cool2:

Picked up this '36 Fully Equipped Motorbike at a local swap. Had enough parts to replace the incorrect fenders,bars,guard & fork that it came with.

Been picking up Colson parts til I had a big enough pile to put something together.
