Re: Colson Rat

Nothing like a natural Colson.

I also drooled over this thing while it was up... good to see it rollin' right again 8)

I have a crank that would looks good with this beast, I'll get a picture of it later.

What's up with the skip tooth looking cog on the "low" end of the rear cluster on the Screamin' Indian / Orient Express bike? Is that modified or original?

I really like that stem on it. Think it would look even better if you could get it to match the patina of the forks.

The side of the forks you can see in the pictures is darkened from a repair. I chose the black stem over the stamped steel ones in my parts bin because it does match the black wheels. Maybe some black grips would help it out until I can find a rusty forged steel one?
