I have been doing some bike swapping with a few different bike guys in the area. I now have a couple bikes I'm really excited about but could use some more info if any one has some. First is a Colson. The fenders are rough but the frame is a beatiful shape.

Next is a Cadillac which may be my Klunker frame. I have a complete girls bike of this brand.

I have this green cruiser with no badge. Has vista on the grips but they look newer than the bike.

this was a freebie. 16" cantelivier. it has some Schwinn parts but the frame looks wrong and no dates where they should be. Any suggestions.

Bought this Mohawk today off CL for $25. It needs a new padal. the rest is Great. It has a really neat seat rack which I may to remove before flipping.

The blue cadillac is a bit bent in the rear stays and most of the quill is still in the tube so it will simmer on the back burner for a while. I'm debating what to do with th the Colson. it could get restored, or ratted any suggestions.. The rest my end up on the block .
 
I suspect that the Rollfast and Colson would withstand hard trail use better than the Cadillac. Then again, the WF would be the smallest loss in case of "hill-n-bail". (IMO)Take it for the $0.02 that it's worth. :wink:
 
The Colson is built like a tank. Every time I look at it I start going over about three different things I could do with it . I'm still working out what way to go. I dug out a nice set of skiptooth Elgin wheels that I may use on the Cadillac. I have to look up "Fridrich's Cadillac" to see what that is. With some alteration I may be able to make the rollfast look similar to a Cook Bros or Laguna. Of course I never get time to do welding that I want to do. The rest I may get rid of to keep peace in the home.
