What does your current project look like now?

Working on a replacement wheel I got from Eric for my DX.
Dealing with brake discs and reinstalling the New Departure Hub....second one I've done.
Tedious to say the least.

FYI .... New Departure does have a tool that makes the reload of the whole cleaned up internal set up a easy reload into the hub --

The tool basically allows you to snug down the brake disc assembly onto the rear axle & load the lined up assembly through the rear hub - remove the tool & spin the cog on - bearing race - lock nut - washer & axle nut ... I don't have a pic currently .. but maybe someone else does .. found the tool on the large auction site ...

my project

36 Colson flyer. I've had it about three years now, one of my favorite bicycles to ride and Colson's. When I got and the parts located after. The handlebar is not necessary Colson issued but indeed an early 36ish texashorn one which I really enjoy, has a very good feel when riding. The front fender had it original horn light hole patched up so I finally drilled it out and added the lite and added the long feather which is appropriate for a deluxe tall frame but it was from a girls bicycle so I had to drill the right additional ones as it is on a boys. Tough guard to come across. The rack however which is also a 35-36 tubular issued one for high end Colson in those years is nearly impossible to locate. It is missing a brace. Still a project in the works.

Looks better than I remember. Great job restoring her. Those pink tires really take it over the top!

Current condition of my Colson Project. I am currently waiting for my new wheels and chain to arrive. The last thing on the list of things to pick up is a long spring seat. Then the real challenge begins. What paint scheme should I employed?
