Thanks to Tyler (Doublenickle) I got some of the missing parts that are a big part of owning a Colson snaptank......such as the snaptank! lol.

Beautiful. Great job putting this together.

That's a lovely looking bike you got there. Is it staying bare metal & are you going to seal it or let her oxidise?!

 

[highwheelerboy25]

It's already clear coated.

Looks great! Bare metal and solid white tires make a heck of a combo!

 

[highwheelerboy25]

you can always buy it back for what I've got in it plus $1,000+.

took the kickstand off of this 28"er and modified it to fit the colson.


removed these brackets...
