Finally riding a big boys bike
Hello, very new here and lots to look and learn! Yesterday picked up this middleweight EVANS (Colson) "Firebird" and after some work took it for a ride. Very nice. And now so many questions. I have seen only one picture of this particular bike in an illustrated catalog thats for sale on ebay. says 1958. I have the original seat and original truss rod forks in a bag I got with the bike, but the seat is in bad shape... It almostly looks to be there but has schwinn grips... missing pedals.... It's pretty clean except for washed out pinstriping. It has a three speed sturmey archer that works fine, front caliper brakes that I removed temporarily. The pic looks blue but its a candy apple green.
So a short list of questions for those in the know about these later model Evans.
did it come with a spring fork? (the one on it now is a JC Higgins from 60s)
Was there a headlight setup for these?
Is there a Tank for these?
Thanks everyone. Pic on the way from my Ipad.
