1938 Colson (Texas Special) - 4th RRBer to own this bike

[kingfish254]

Picked this sweet frame up today in a trade with us1ss.
It's from @udallcustombikes (Cameron) Texas Special build and I believe it belonged to @garagegoon before that. So I am at least the 4th RRBer to have this bike.

That is a solid aluminum seatpost .

Here is one of Cameron's photos of it when he had it
Here is his build thread for it

Here is the setup that us1ss had for it.

There are quite a few bikes that seem to make the rounds. Glad it is in your capable hands. Can't wait to see the newest incarnation!

It's cool to know the lineage of a bike. The paint job is holding up very well.
Mike has some other very cool RRB bikes in his stable including Karfer's "The Higgins" and Critter's "Lackluster"

It would be interesting to know if the head badge is legit to that actual bike, or one of the re-pops that seem to be floating around at all the swap meets.
Cool bike either way.

It's one of the repops. If you look at Cams build thread you can see where he added it. You can see from this pic why he felt it was a natural fit on garagegoons paint scheme.

You know I love those Colsons...I think he got it from Porkchop Bmx..He has tons and tons of them still.

The badge is not a repop, but not original to the bike. porkchopbmx.com bought up a bunch of NOS badges. I held on to it until I got the bike and the colors were just "right".

Cool! Thanks for the correction Cameron!

It's a small RRB world out there. I have this frame listed on ebay and I got a message asking if I had the fork. I explain that I didn't and that the last fork was a klunker style. The guy responds back saying he knows, because he is the guy that painted it and set the bike up this way. Turns out it was @garagegoon . I bet it was pretty cool for him to be searching ebay and come across his old bike.
