Finally riding a big boys bike
Hello everyone, I wanted to sure my latest find, this cool pair of bike that I purchased from the son of the original owners. I was told that they are both Colson bikes although only the ladies bike has a badge. The story goes that the men's bike was earned by this man's father in 1933 as payment for his work on a farm that summer, and that his mother bought the bike new to save money over riding the bus. He remembers her telling him that she road it everywhere including to highschool, which saved her 10 cents. These were such cherished possession for both of them that they kept them for all these years and still used them from time to time. The reason they are red is the family had they repainted as and anniversary present for them in the 90's. Unfortunately both have now passed on and the family finally decided to sell the bike and wanted them to stay together. there isn't much left from the early days of these bikes except for the oral history so I was hoping that you all could help me fill in some of the info on the history of the bikes themselves, actual years of production, models, possible original color and any other info you may have. I will post serial numbers as soon as I can read them clearly.
