Colson Parts.jpg
 
Started with a tired 36 girls Colson. Has a cool dark brown rusty, stippled surface EVERYWHERE (frame, fenders, crank, chainwheel, rims)! WD40 and xxxx steel wool followed by boiled linseed oil took care of that.
Got a convertible tank from Jim Harrison at TRM to muscle her up a bit. Seat, bars, stem, chainguard and reflector we’re laying around or sourced on CABE/eBay. Fat Franks brown&whites look pretty sharp! Final fitting of the tank and adding TRM light kit, sorting out rear hub and should call it a day.

Here is the pretty much finished bike. Waiting for a part for the ND coaster brake before road testing.
Light kit from TRM IS EXCELLENT! Also added a horn.
Painted tank to match patina
