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.
