Double Bar Roadsters, it’s all about DBRs here.

Wore out three sets of tires already!
This is a thread on anything Double Bar Roadsters, discussions on any manufacturers that made these distinct frame design and differences. During the Cyclone Coaster swap and DBR featured ride, I thought let’s take pictures of the DBRs that were there, maybe in addition a picture of their bikes with their owners. And so that’s what I did, which will start off this thread with our friend Mike...

I gotta admit. When I first got into collecting, I was drawn more to the straightbar frames. I settled on a 36 doublebar aka "rainbow" frame project in primer as my first real vintage bike, but still longed for a straightbar. After picking up a couple nicer doublebars in original paint, I've grown to really appreciate them. Here are a few of the Colsons doublebars in my herd. The only non-Colson is the '36 Huffman pictured above in @Eddie_Boy's first post.

I have a couple more LWB doublebar projects in que, but am still gathering parts.

I usually stick to stock, or close to it, but had a lil fun with an early '36 and parts lying around the garage.
