UPDATE, INPUT? 36-37 Colson

[oldfart36]

Another Project! 36-37 Colson.

Should make a cool board track style speedster. Dam those closed front ends! LOL

Great bike! Contact ind-chuckz and get a Worksman wheelset with a knockout front hub.

Come on Chris! You are a big boy, you can spread those forks & squeeze the wheel in there. Let me know if you need me to help.

Ok, I deserve that!! A 3 handed front end for sure!! LOL I do admit, had to get the front wheel off to get it in the suburban and it was like 2 monkeys ____'in a football in the driveway!! LOL

Don't know your plans, but if you're thinking of new wheels then a cartridge bearing hub like this one from bikedomeworks is great on these forks. The bolts thread into the axle so the hub fits right into the fork ends. I use one on a 1936 Colson and it works great. These are available in black and silver. Similar low-flange hubs might be available if you do some digging.
