New find Colson Tandem !!

THEGOLDENGREEK · Apr 23, 2015

Well Im posting this bicycle up for one of my friends who is not computer savvy yet. He just picked this Colson tandem up. He would love to know what year it is. Plus from my research on line for him the front dogleg looks to be totally wrong from other pics i came across online. If any one had one laying around he could use and will buy it. He has the rear rack and the 2 chain guards but they are off the bicycle. The serial number starts with 17729 and under that we see a G3 or 8 if that helps out with the year. Pm me if you may have the proper front dogleg. Thank you!

If its any help . I think that is the correct front sprocket.

Very cool George. My favorite of all tandems. Rob.

He thinks the front dog leg is wrong because it rubs on the chainguard.... So if its wrong he is looking for the correct one. Here is a pic I found on the web different front dog leg.

Would front crank possibly move side to side allowing arm to clear chainguard and act as an alignment for front chain? Rick

I think its original.Loosten the bolt and its like a cam so you can adjust the chain

But the problem is with the turkey leg chain guard on the front sprocket the dog hits it so it must be the wrong dogleg anyone out there have one or the correct one for this bike?
