32 Colson Flyer.

[Big Moe]

Well, I finally got my hands on this old boy. Sold 4 Schwinns to get it. I could not be any happier with it. After a few adjustments and a few additions it will be perfect. 1st thing to do is modify the seat post so I can turn it around to the rear and lower it down. Then comes the additions. Headlight battery tube and plunger horn. I might add a rack on the back. Not sure about that yet. Anyway, enjoy looking at it the way it is right now. Believe me , I'm definitely going to enjoy riding the hell out of it. . Already have the day I got it. Which was today.

These bikes are bucket list bikes for me. Big Moe, you've got the start to an amazing ride-great score! Shawn, remember seeing this one on a Hurricane Coaster ride, right? Bridge in background looks familiar. Yours has all that tasty candy-sweet!

This is actually going to be my patina bike. I'm already going to have my restored Emblem Speedwell. 28"er.

These old motorbikes look alike. This is my Columbia. Like riding it a lot.

Nice bike! You might be able to get someone on here to custom bend you a seatpost as opposed to modifying the original.

The original one was already beat to hell when i got it. I'm going to get a custom one made. Or hell, make it myself actually. I'll just have to use a shim with it. Steel rod and a blowtorch. Have vise will bend stuff. I'll post more pictures after I make some adjustments.

Well, had a local welding shop do a seat post for me. Came out the perfect angle. On to headlight horn and battery tube. And stripping the paint off the handle bars.

That sounds like it's about the right Schwinn to Colson ratio
