Not mine. Lousy pictures but a beautiful 1950’s Evans-Colson with Evans action springer $425 on FB marketplace in Rocklin Ca. Cheap for Cali, I think this is a gift for one of you.

Vintage Evans Colson Coaster Bike 1950s (?) - $425 Nice condition. All original parts, seat and tires worn and flat. Would be a fun restoration project.

Pretty sure those fenders aren't original

@Freqman1 I’m glad you said that, I thought they looked a little suspect.

Anyone have an idea what model this is?

They look like light weight fenders. Really narrow

Don't have my book in front of me for year, but here's a good place to start. Probably squared off fenders.

Definately wrong fenders, I had one and they are definately squared off and painted to match.

VERY suspect. Clearance, shape, goofy braces. Check this out.

This bike was purchase by the PO over 30 years ago and put away in inside storage. When I purchased the bike the only thing missing were the original pedals. I sourced a correct set of postwar Torrington 8's that were refurbished by Cabe pedal expert Heart-like-a-lion. I also upgraded the seat...

I believe that is a middle weight bicycle. 26 x 1.75 tires. I'd say you are correct, the fenders look lightweight. Smoking cool bike though.

I agree with your last statement.
