Ah yes. Has it been that long already? April 2013. Time flies.

My first foray into antique prewar bikes was doing a search on the internet back in 2013 finding the Colson Commander thought it was a neat design and doing a search on it and imagine this auction coming up. I bid on it $2875 but had no idea what its true value was since I was a few week old novice.

So Ken if you want the Colson script pedals i have and put back and forth on that Vaughn commander i havent listed them until you pu bike and i offer you them either way I would publicly disclose it if i
listed it with them on it rather than try and say i found it that way.

So 2/3 of the hobby will think i am trying to retire on getting back what i had to give Joe Potts to get it. Like Don told me once I want to pass these bikes onto the next guy in the hobby who thinks like me so i used it in choosing Ken to get the bike .....

Thanks for the kind words Jerry... I'll treat it like it was my first born and I am thrilled to be the new caretaker of such an awesome bike.

The black & creme is by far my favorite! Seems there are less out there than the wheat/red. Wish I could find one to fit a poor boy from SoCal's budget one of these days...
