I bought this truss rod on Ebay for cheap because the top of the rods were broken so I tapped the top of the rods and fabed a top bracket. It was advertised as a 1930s Colson truss rod but I don't know? It has no drop outs for the front wheel, it has holes drilled in the fork for the wheel axle and you have to spread the fork legs to get the axle in. It works great. Can anyone confirm that this truss rod fork on the red bike is from a Colson. Thanks
looks like a Colson fork to me , the fender mount and rib at the top of the legs tell the story ! Cool bikes to build up !

It's all about the tanklights
Added a few more parts to this 39. The Wings Marrathon Headbadge is on its way.
Added a rear rack, truss rods, rear clip, and the elusive snaptank.
It's all about the Tanklights!!
How did I run out of room so fast?

Still working on the front fender...she's being difficult

Thought I posted the finished 38-39 Goodyear men's Snaptank, added a 37 ladies to make a his and her's pair.
Went a little to the extreme trying to find the OG paint on these two. As you can see I didn't find any paint worth saving.
