Hey Chris,
I think I have the correct trussrods for your Colson. I’ll dig around for em tomorrow. If I forget, text me and remind me !
Hope you’re well . .

Pete had the older style, so I'm still looking for a set of rods.

Would these off a 39 snap tank work? I have the rods, lower and upper brackets and acorn nuts. They have been cleaned since this picture was taken.

Thanks Jimbo,
Those are the earlier style. The ones that I am looking for are more curved. Why are you taking them off of that bike?

The bike as shown was a lower model than the full-on version with chain guard and rear carrier. My research shows that the lower model has this truss rod setup while the more deluxe model has the full curved ones. Here is my cleaned up version w/rear carrier and chainguard with older truss rods. I swapped out older truss rods this AM but they look a little long so will borrow a friends tap and die set and cut and retread to correct dimensions.
