Turd Nugget (Colson?)

[John Gailey]

This gem was acquired from the interweb. It appears to be a LWB Colson. For a prewar bike, it has some blinding flaws. I think I have enough in my stash to bring it around. A question about the crank and chainring. I believe this should have a sweetheart chainring. Would the crank be a standard dogleg or does it need something Colson specific? Any input is helpful. Cheers

Chain ring is 70's Huffy, guards not, but looks like 52 Schwinn.

I saw that relisted on eBay a couple of times, but someone finally snagged it. Looks like a 36LWB with the correct fenders, but one replaced brace. Rear lower fender bridge is missing. Not sure about that fork, but could be a lower-end bike sans truss rods. She's rough(as most of these tend to be), but where there's a will there's a way. Good luck with your project.

Here's my '37 for reference.

I have to admit, at first glance I thought it said Ted Nugent.

^^^ made me see Uncle Ted's name as well.!!!

it is that phenomenon where you can read words when the letters are jumbled so long as the first and last letters are in the right spot. since Turd Nugget is not in our brain, we saw Ted Nugent.

Does anybody have the answer to my question about crank and chainring?

 

[geosbike]

depends on the year

Let's say a 37 for the sake of discussion.

Yes, it would have a Colson sweetheart chainring & dogleg crankset.
