Colson Rear Steer

-
I hate agreeing with Dave, but I gotta on the paint, certainly has it's appeal! Man that sucks about rear umm headtube?...I am looking forward to seeing what you do with that. I hope the rest of this bike goes well for ya man, may the bike gods smile upon you :D
 
Had 2 of these Kept one.I was told it was a 38.Dont know.
Mike said, the flat braces were 38 and this had curved fender braces making it a 39.

I still haven't mastered deciphering of these serial numbers but, here's the serial.

Serial number is the bottom letter and number in most cases. In this case B=February being the second month of the year. And 9=1939. If it was a 0 it would be 1940 etc. Very easy.
 
Try to wet sand the frame 1000-1200 grit auto body grade sand paper. Lots of water & a bit or dawn dish soap keep checking progress.
 
Sure is a lot of bike for one bike stand

So here's the issue with the rear steer tube.
Any idea how to get this sleeve round again?
Can't get the top race off or thread on the top nut now.

Im a stupid bass turd, but I would try to find some thing that fit the ID of the headset and pound it in.....beautiful bike you have no matter how "perfect" it come out....a rear steer tandem is on my short list, so this is educational to me man.....great save on a old rust pile, much respect just for that.
