Just stumbled on this old post. How dang cool. Some good reading. Still got a ways to go on my 34 Colson. Nice to see @piercer_99 contributing and keeping it going.
1933 Colson Flyer moto...26" ballooner. Earliest 26er Colson moto by serial number that I have seen thus far.
With custom 3-spd rider wheelset below.
And with original New Departure/Lobdel 26" steel clincher(45mm rim) wheelset.
Post-1933, the long-lived 28" double-diamond, double-top-bar bikes/frames were on the out. It was at the end of the Great Depression and the end of this era, yet some makers held on until 1936/7 I believe using the motobike frame style and 28" wheels-Shelby/Snyder, etc.
