Double Bar Roadster(?) in Petaluma, $150......

Is my assumption that this bike is a Schwinn correct? If so the bracket that supports the truss rods does not look like a Schwinn part.

I was able to pick it up...definitely Colson and I believe to be a '36.

Feel free to comment on what is correct and what isn’t.,,

Nice score.

Rims, crank and fenders look wrong.

A&S chain ring sprocket.

Colson chain ring can of worms | General Discussion About Old Bicycles

@fordmike65 so I have seen differences between the Colson chain rings. Particularly the Hershey kiss shaped holes vs more triangular shapes on the outside of the chain ring. I am debating whether the chain ring on the very bottom right of the picture with multiple sprockets is correct for my 34...

Nice Colson frame, truss fork and seat post, typical Colson braze repairs; a beginning of a project bike.

good. that's too far to go. my truck would not want to drive that far. there was a war years Elgin "lightweight' up there a few weeks back I was thinking about. too far.

I love it when the score is 10 minutes away! I might have been a player on this one, but it would have been a long drive. I did a three hour tour the other day to grab a '52 Mercury, the seller was nice enough to do a two hour roundtrip to save me from the whole drive. It was "essential travel" in my opinion, and the wife came along for the ride! I posted the Mercury in todays Show & Tell.
