god, can`t you come up with something new or original? fixies, that sounds cool. bicycles suck. do you have wear special shoes and riding shorts? kick back at coffee shops?
Yes I wear the short shorts and and a headband.I love coffee and talking about the day...I think this bike might be a tad different than the regular fixed gears that guys are riding or building.Thanks for the info on the bike.
From what I can gather this Colson is from the mid 30's. What doesn't make sense is that the "Flyer" was their one of their cruisers not a race bike. The brake was most likely added later. But the skip tooth chain ring is pretty consistent with that time. Hope this helps.
I AM LOOKING FOR SOME INFO ON THIS OLD RACEBIKE. IT WAS MADE BY COLSON.IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE EMAIL ME.
