Callous Colson (1940)

[streetrod]

Here's my 1940 Colson I built a little while back. I bought it as a bare frame. I knew from the beginning I was leaving it rusty. Other parts came from a Western Flyer. The wheels are my favorite thing on the bike, they look so weathered and crusty I bobbed the rear fender and left the fenders bare so they'd get a little rusty as well. I added the truss on the forks and of course I made my own bars! Hope you like it, I know I do!

I like it, looks tough.Big fan of making own handlebars. Are they brazed together. And is that strong enough. I made my own bars for the space chopper build.

I did braze the bars together. I like the way the brass stands out and brazing is also fairly strong as well. Thanks for the compliments!
