Colson Rear Steer Tandem

[KZ1000]

after 5 tandems I said NO MORE, but I just could not pass on this one, supposed to be a 1937 model

 

[Hooch]

wow that is so cool

 

[Unchained]

Oh boy Rick would I like to have that! :mrgreen: Now all you need is about $100 in skip tooth chains to get the steering and cranks hooked up... :lol:

Nice find. Those rear steers are funky.

I sure can use the fork (and other parts!) please let me know ASAP.

 

[KZ1000]

I'll sell the whole thing, won't part it. PM sent

 

[SCHWINNRAY69]

WOW :shock: Nice score, where did you find that :?:

 

[KZ1000]

It found me, via a friend of a friends brothers landlord

 

[outskirtscustoms]

Wow that would be so cool restored!

 

[M.Martian]

In no way should that ever be parted out. That needs to be put back into running condition and used.

I always love seeing Larry riding this from the back with nobody up front.

That would probably be quite a sight! Awfully complicated 'stretch', huh? :roll: :mrgreen:

Question, I assume the front handlebars turn, right? If so, then it's an 'all steer'.

In either case, that an interesting design, I love it. It could be replicated rather easily.

Cheers!

I just found out there is another one of these getting restored here local. I hear it supposed to be done sometime this summer.

I think that makes 4 ?

Would that make Wichita the Colson Tandem capitol of the world?

Both sets turn in unison

 

[ilikebikes]

is this true for all rear steers? I would think this would make things hard on both riders! Can you imagine trying to turn it from the rear while the person up front instinctively tries to keep it straight! :shock:
