1930's Colson Racer...

[buckchocolate]

my son (el duderino) brought me a present two weeks ago...

looking GOOD after a flip of the bars and seat...

work in progress...

 

[buckchocolate]

this is my second "Rat"...the tires came from member Chimichanga (good prices, FAST shipping!)...everthing 'cept the grips is Original...not crazy about the bars but they came w/ the bike (haha, trying to do it on a budget)...

That was on the Louisville Craigslist, I think. I remember looking at it, and if gas prices hadn't been so high, I would've looked at it more closely. I like the patina you left on the bike.

 

[maddogrider]

So with the bars that way are you going to race it? Cool bike, what a nice son you got.

 

[buckchocolate]

yes Elgin, the bike came from Louisville...I wasn't too psyched at first, until I saw what a little Steel Wool could do...
yes Maddog, I'll be racing it!...all the way to the Beer Store...

That looks great! are those white tires? or are they cream colored?

 

[buckchocolate]

thanks for the props!...the tires are CREAM...I plan on rubbing a little "Old English" on them with a partial wipe off...some artificial patina...
