Colson blister tank bike

[Jarod24]

Just got this a few days ago. Here are some before pics

After:

Not all the way done yet, but couldn't wait to post to the pics of this awesome one!
Chain still needs to be cleaned. Unsure if I'm going to use the pedals that came on it and then the chain guard and rear rack need a couple tack welds done. Added the coke bottle grips some bontrager hanks Other than that, I'm fairly certain everything else is original.

Yeah, unforturnately a lot of the paint is gone. I did a oxalic acid bath on the frame and all the other parts and it seem to work great. But the rims it seemed to take some of the paint with it. Not that the paint was amazing to begin with but still came out pretty good.

That's a beauty bike and a beauty chain guard. Are you going to put it back on?

Thanks!
Yeah, the tab on the end where it connects to the dropout area was broke off and rigged on. So I'm having a buddy weld it back together. Rear rack had a broken tab as well.

I love those looptail frames! Here's mine I acquired from Ceebee a while back.
