While revisiting the family farm house (where I discovered these 4 bikes in an out building summer of 2020) I had a look through old family photo albums.

Found this photo showing the girls Shelby Traveller and boys Colson. Note you can see the speedometer on the Colson.

Glad to have found this!

Update on these barn finds.

Colson has had some paint removal. I found a head badge and drop stand.
Original fenders back on and fat 26x2.35 tires. Original handle bar was too narrow so I replaced it with a 30” Torrington’s and repop coke bottle grips. Hubs rebuilt by Greenephantom.

I am undecided on which way to go with it. I would like to find a Colson rack and truss rods!

The Rollfast is currently getting its fork straightened at a machine shop. 1950’s era fenders as the originals were toast. Has fat 26x2.35 tires, and handle bar off a mountain bike with repop coke bottle grips. Hubs rebuilt by Greenephantom.

I don’t plan to restore this one. Maybe look for a rack and chain guard.

20” CWC is garage art and the Shelby Traveller was parted to help other CABE Shelby’s stay on or return to the road
