Riding a '37 Colson Imperial
When I saw @Mabuhay's thread on his crusty black '36 Schwinn DBR, I was hooked. The way he went about the build and rejuvenation of this awesome rare-ish frame was just as I would have. Keep it simple, full mechanical rebuild and most importantly....preserve the crust. Oh, and it reminded me of my very own '36 Colson double bar. The more I looked at them, I'm convinced they're related.... possibly even 1/2 brothers. We made arrangements to have a reunion of sorts at this past weekend's Rolling Relics SF Ride, and I'm happy to say it went well. No DNA test was done, but I'm still convinced these two are closer than any Schwinn and Colson ever have been. It was great meeting you Eddie. I hope we can put together a Cyclone Coasters Double Bar Ride together someday soon so we can get all the local Schwinn, Colson, CWC and maybe even a Shelby, Iver or Snyder. I don't think we have any local Monarks, but it would be cool to get one out to compare.
