Tank,
The bicycle you posted us Ron Summers 38 Colson imperial! That bike is just a bite more rare then what I have, I have a Packard right now! Just a step under the "value ladder" if that makes since.

I'm still unsure about the paint scheme, I'm working with Ron right now on finding a good '38 design.

I had to ditch the original frame, It was in to bad of shape. It probably would have snapped if I would have rode it, so here is another '38 in much better condition. This bike is ready for the Cleveland show!

Looking sweet buddy!!
Nice details!

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

I am SO riding that bike this weekend! wooooo!

Cheers,
Dr. T

I wonder if the first frame could be saved in an electrolysis tank.

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

What a great bike, it rides so smoothly too.

Can't wait to see where this one goes from here.

P.S. Sending you a PM.

Cheers,
Dr. T

Instant favorite, those floating chainguards are awesome all on their own but the truss forks with that badge are the icing on the cake. Looking forward to seeing it again sometime

One of my favorites at the show. It got one of my votes and one of my son's votes for peoples choice.
(You got as many votes as you were willing to buy for the cause!) :!:

Is that by chance a repop lens on that Delta? If so, where would I get one??

Also, cool bike :mrgreen:

Memory lane classics sells them! And yes it is!

Glad you ditched that original frame! I'm hoping it doesn't snap when it gets ridden, though...

You got a good deal on that one bud! I've never seen someone pull out cash so fast in my life! Enjoy it! Good deals for friends!

Nice job. I really like multicolored parts bikes.

This build seems to have had multiple personalities. Maybe it's just evolving.
