I've got an idea for accents if you go the bare metal route. I'll hit you up when I get back home.
Love this bike BTW!

Awesome foundation!

With those red/green jewel grips, do you know which side to put each one (port starboard)?

That tank needs speed holes.

Yeah! I have them port and starboard style on the Clipper!

No speed holes.

I vote for speed holes. This is now a democracy and I am winning in the votes.

Then I'm the independent party. Speed holes on a tank like this would be a costly modification. Instant money loss!

If your plan is just to fix this up and then sell it, you'll never get my vote.

Wow....not sure how to respond to a comment like that. I really don't care if I get negative 15 votes. Really don't care about the whole build off drama.

Anyways...I collect Colson bicycles. This is one of the holy grail Colsons in my book. Don't really plan to sell.

Cutting holes in that tank would be a travesty.

Like you would respond to any of my posts, as if I'm just goofing around and having a good time. Haha I'm just jealous that you can manage to sell bikes and make money. Haha

Not making money on this one. I still can't believe I own a bike like this. Keeper for sure or as long as the good lord blesses me with junk like this.

Sorry Rob, just saw this. Sounds good! You've got a crankset waiting for you over hear!

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

Heading home today. I'll drop you a text later on.

Speed holes would likely slow it down by breaking up the airflow anyway. Great looking starting place.

Fantastic bicycle. Really dig the tank. Will certainly be following along...

I crack up every time I see your new avatar. It looks like Captain America reading in the Avengers Super-Loo.

Thanks guys! No chopping and welding on this one!

Great bike as it sits, Are you gonna do an original restore?

No, because it's not the Firestone "Super" Cruiser. I'm going to take it to bare pedal.
