Colson Commander ?

Having only seen but a few, i am rather curious as to what these fetch.
Say all original. Condition 5-7.

Bucket list bike for me. Figured I would start saving on the side.

Thanks

I believe a couple have been picked up in that range...but as time passes & interest increases, the price goes up. I heard a pretty nice one could not be pried from the collector's hands for any less than $12k. That leaves me out

12k!?!?! Good grief. Looks like I can forget buying a larger house.

That doesn't mean that the market price is now that high. That's his "I don't wanna sell it" price. I'm thinking $7k or so should land one...I hope.

7 seems like a reasonable number. You hoping to pick one up in the future?

This is the closest I'll ever get. I have the correct fender braces to swap in, as well as an original paint fork. The fenders & correct long feather guard will be painted to match.

Deleted original post. I was thinking that the rack was going to be lots of fun to find, but I was mistakenly thinking of a 1937 Commander.

Depending on how nice I think somewhere between $6-7k is realistic for an original. A restored bike less. My 2c. V/r Shawn

Ok who has an original for $6-7k? Let me know!

Thanks!
