Who likes Colson bikes!

I've been obsessed with finding an OG paint green Colson LWB straight bar or double bar and have been collecting green OG paint rims to tide me over. I know yours isn't OG paint but it looks awesome and fenders are a great match.

For now they look pretty good on my straight bar.

Thank you for the nice words.
I'm not convinced that my frame and fork is a repaint. I'm leaning towards it being original paint. It is a very thin single coat with some red primer underneath in some spots. I should have taken pics of the inside of the frame when it was apart but it doesn't look like a repaint. Any 1930s Colson paint documentation out there?

I dig the white drop centers with your black bike

More progress on the 36 lwb double bar. Ditched the later ridged fork and replaced it with an earlier fork with truss rods.
