Uncle Stretch Colson Clone Stretch #3

[kingfish254]

Got this beauty in the mail from @Princepavo today. Back in 2007 @Uncle Stretch build his first stetched Colson clone. Early 2008 he built a 2nd and 3rd one for Steve's Dad (@RatRodDad) and Steve (@Rat Rod). After a lot of digging around, I've determined that Uncle Stretch still has #1, @ind-chuckz has #2, and I now own #3.

While the research is fresh in my head I want to post up some links to the history on these.

Uncle Stretch Colson Clone Stretch #1 - 2007 - (still owned by him with the looptail mod that he did a few years later)

The Colson Clone-video added 1-1-08 (Happy New Year to all)

Hooch, Paul decided that he hated to chop up the '37 Colson frame you sold him, but he really liked the style of the frame. So instead of cutting up the original he decided to use it for a template to come up with something similar - only with a 6" stretch to get those pedals out there. So...

My turn for a clone

Uncle Stretch (I guess it's actually Brother Stretch to me) got bored while waiting for his Mexico connection to come through on building him some Colson clone frames, so he built me a one in the mean time. I ran over to his house this weekend with my parts in hand and we put it together and...

MY OWN "UNCLE STRETCH" COLSON CLONE

Well, my Uncle Paul is at it again. Seems he just can't get enough of building these stretched frames. :lol: He's in the middle of making one up for me and I thought I'd start a thread to show the progression. He is using 3/4 schedule 40 pipe for the main frame, 5/8 schedule 40 pipe for the...

Super cool mini clone of an Uncle Stretch Colson clone 2008 - Built by @RatRodDad (Steve's dad)

Uncle Shrink's Mini Me (the mini clone)(video added 3-20)

Paul decided that the kid bike build off was right up his alley. No limitations on frame mods. So I rounded up some parts and headed over to his house today to see what he could put together. I brought the remnants of a BMX bike that I found in the neighborhood a few months ago, a coaster...

I’m sure it’s in the build history, but what’s the little J shaped tubing behind the seat post? Edit: one quick click on the link answered my question. So never mind on that.
another comment: maybe you should stamp 003 in the rear drop out.

That funky extension off the seatpost area was done by Tikiharl for a gripshifter. I don't care for it, so I will probably be chopping that off.
I like the idea of stamping it with a US003 or something
