Finally riding a big boys bike
This looks like the 1950, 51, 52 or 53 base or standard model of the Colson De Luxe series w/out tank or cushioner front end.
Has double bar frame with dropout rear fork. Has great big chain guard with most of Colson label there, a huge chain ring and original rear rack.
Was unfortunately sprayed at some time with a silver paint, and I have worked on it some to get it to it's current condition.
Carlisle Lightning Dart tires that are in decent shape and hold air.
Needs a replacement seat and needs a little brake work but it does stop...Just doesn't lock up the rear tire...(kind of like slowing down a tank...and yes, it is probably as solid as one. Light and grips are most likely are not original.

Funky brown color...a real eye catcher.
Will be taking it to the Eden Bicycle show and swap meet on May 11th or am heading from North Carolina to Chicago in late May and could meet along the way to deliver and save you on shipping if a deal is made.

Not sure what shipping would be, for it is heavy!!!
Not one you see often.

$425 plus shipping or we can work out a delivery.
PM me if you need more info, pics etc.
Thanks
