Colson Looptail with Grilltank
Early Post War
Derby Badged

Purchased from orig owner some time ago .

when i got it it had no front fender and an incorrect vintage lightweight front wheel.

Currently disassembled

Will include "placeholder" front wheel and
"placeholder" front fender. Fender was sold to me as NOS Shelby , and has different color scheme, no braces or sign of braces been installed

- Placeholder Front wheel is period Lobdell. However, the low side of rim has quite a bit of rust deterioration, its sever enough that if i had taken the tire off before buying , i would not have bought it for this bike.

- pedals are not correct / orig ( waffles with reflectors were on it when purchased)

- Guard ..... well some debate weather Pep Boys derby shows this chromed wing as orig , but Colson purist would likely not keep it on



Yes, I know Pics are not so great , but its all I have to work with atm.
The bike is in a box , in storage, and what looks a yard sale in the pics , is what's in the box.

Let me preempt the predictable question:

Would I sell the tank only? Sure, if you insist , price for tank only is $700

my reason for selling is about moving and storage. so selling the tank only and not the bike , is not what i'm tryin to accomplish, Make me an offer for the bike without the tank , and thats more in alignment with my goal to reduce volume in storage / moving truck.
