Enjoying my 37 Colson Commander
Definitely late forties. I always thought that model was neat. Clipper guard and Bluster tank combo. Cool bike.

Enjoying my 37 Colson Commander
Anything on the bottom bracket(on frame under crank)? These single bars don't come up too often. Thinking it may be 39 or so...but with an earlier wheelset?
I would like too find the tall version Roadster. Their very cool. Yours is either 1935- 36

My Colson
There seems to be a lot of knowledgeable Colson folks on the CABE. I'm told this is a 49. Any help on it having or not having the right parts please let me know. The bike is in storage so I don't have the serial number in an easy to reach place. Thanks

Little 41 quickie
Picked this up at the last Dudley show from Bike Mike. Cleaned up pretty nice. Happened to have some spare parts lying around the ole barn. Blue & white w/ red pin striping, very patriotic, wonder if it had anything to do w/ war looming? Not a good day to ride here in the northeast.

Way to throw entropy into reverse Mike! I like it, I would have thought those parts were original.

Wore out three sets of tires already!
Another Colson, after 6 days of looking at this bike it finally made it into stand. I will be disassembling for cleaning, bike sat in a smokers room it reeks and has a film of nicotine on it. I would appreciate any advice and or constructive criticism. Found an old page from 1911 on Howie Cohen website which states Simmons hardware sold bikes badged Banner, Laclede, and "Westminster" that year, made me smile. Everything has come apart easily so far except removing front wheel. Inside of tank has a considerable amount of surface rust, has anyone here used a product called Rustmort? supposedly stops and stabilizes rust, inside of tank only of course. Plans are degrease, wash, dry, then maybe mineral oil on a soft cloth rubdown. Thoughts? Rick
