Didn't you say in a previous thread that you picked this one up within walking distance of your house?

My father owns a junk yard in NH. In the mid 1990's a local farmer sold his property and my dad ended up with the metal left on the property. There was a rusty Colson Hi-Lo frame and drive train in the metal. I sold it on the old Schwinn forum. I believe the purchaser bought it just for the internals of the bottom bracket and shift linkage. Probably a member here if I had to take a guess

Was Colson the only company that had a 2 speed built into the bottom bracket of the bike frame?
