Not quite as spectacular but I picked this one up from JOEL at MLC. She's all there.. sans the light of course. And I love her.

Beautiful

She is parked in a hugh line of future projects. It is a '47 Colson Scout in original colors

Looks like the Colsons are really getting some attention. I can't lie - pretty new to the vintage (pre - '60) bikes, and wasn't aware of them until I found mine. Sure would like to find a tank for my '57 Sonic Scout!!!

Thanks guys, yep all I did was clean it with WD40 and repack all the bearings, then a light coat of boiled linseed oil. And fresh Quick-Bricks.

The patina on that is dead perfect - it says "Classic" right out loud. It's a Beauty and gives me inspiration.

Am I crazy to be doing a re-cover on this Troxel seat? There were 2 serious scuffs on both sides where the pan was showing, and it was covered in rust. My son will bead blast it for me, and I have a nice piece of leather picked out. The original covering was showing signs of deterioration, and I just felt it'd be better to do it up?
