1936

[American Vintage Bicycle Supply]

Okay guys, here is my last try.

My first two attempts at a build went way wrong.

Too much money and too much time Involved in both prior projects.

Here is my last attempt.

1936 Colson Double bar (Rainbow frame)

Long wheel base and a whopping 20.5" seat tube.

Complemented by 30" wide bars. I'm tall so this will be nice.

Does this mean if I delay our trip to the V, that I might be able to prevent you from completing your entry?
Can't wait to see you work your magic on this big boys bike.

Tyler was fast on this one. He contacted me before I was even on the road to pick it up.

As soon as I saw him post it I made him an offer on it.

We are both in Georgia...he's coming up to Atlanta for business and we'll make the deal happen then.

Gotta be quick around these parts. No shame in being a vulture when it comes to crusty old Colson's.

Nothing wrong with that , that's why he owns it now . Early bird gets the worm as that say . [emoji106]

Nice bike to start with... have to keep an eye on this

Hmmm, a Colson huh? This will be something new for you.

Very nice start. Can't wait to see it after you put the AVBS touch to it! This is the long version of my Colson frame, now I know what it's supposed to look like.

Yeah,

If you look at the two build attempts before this...you can see how I slowly fell back into my comfort zone.

I don't see an engine.

I don't see an engine.

For the amount of time allowed. An engine just isn't going to happen. That's why I scrapped the other 2 ideas.

Here is another Rat Rod built with the same frame as mine.

I'll be going in a more "original" direction. Not a restoration but a refurbish wish some sudden custom elements.

The bikes in the ad look kinda plain, having never seen a colson it makes me wonder. I thought all the cool old bikes had fender lights and reflectors.
Still have ALOT to learn about the oldies.
