Maybe 1940(?) - October; looks like a “loop tail” frame with a nicely done brazen repair in the usual weak spot (bb).

Looks to be a postwar Colson looptail. I don't have any postwar Colsons, but I don't believe the 2 digit date stampings continued after the war.

I have this Colson fork for sale. No idea if it is the correct one for your frame.

Looks like its for a prewar fork. I bought one just like that thinking it was correct for my frame.

Got it up and running from parts i have available.. fenders are made by my friend, crankset from columbia, old universal chainguard, truss rods are made attempting to mimic the original.
Hoping maybe someone here have some orig fenders, crankset, chainguard, rack, truss rods... tank(may be a long shot but hoping heheh)

I dig the made fenders. Any info on how & what they're made from? Serious interests in this for all my fender less bikes in need & the premade modern stuff never seems to fit or look the part.

The fenders are made from steel sheet. I don’t know how my friend does it without any fender rollers.. he is good with his hands. He can copy schwinn tanks, chain guards, rear racks and other brands too.. as long as there is an original part to copy from with the measurements and all. These fenders are similar to a schwinn with slight difference since we don’t have an original to copy. He’s been doing it for a long time. We have a group here in Cebu, Philippines called “Cebu Vintage Bicycle Club”
Old bike parts are very scarce out here. Some of the parts from my other bikes i buy it from here using my alternate address in New York, it is a shipping company that ships packages made from online orders in the US to be shipped here in the Philippines.
