1937 Colson frame

[Machine Age Victim]

Just found this, may help others too

I was gonna post that page from the Colson catalog too, but it doesn't really show any real detail. Not too many of these in OG paint anymore. This may help, though with different trussrods & in black/white

Thanks!! I've noticed the same red paint under the headtube and the rest of the bike so this could be a solid color paint job with no darts. Is there any 1936 Colson catalogs that show the colors they used (besides above the orange and green)? I think I'm asking for too much now!

Not a whole lot of these lwb frames around either! I have one long (37) and one short (39), shown here for the Colson challenged who might find this thread later.

Useful information! thanks

Will these frames fit the fenders from the regular size ones?

Thanks big guy, hopefully getting ready to snag one of these very close to me, and a parts bike!

Yep, I built up the blue frame w/parts from a LWB ladies' Vassar, and a swb ladies' Packard.
