1939 Colson snap tank Firestone vintage prewar skiptooth 26\" balloon bicycle For Sale

Good original classic bicycle. Colson built, sold by Firestone dating to 1939. Original burgundy/creme paint is still visible among the heavy patina. Close to complete, needs the front headlight and rear carrier to be totally correct. Includes original chainguard, Colson high arc stem, Colson dropstand, original truss rods, wide Torrington bars, prewar grips, dropcenter wheels. Morrow rear hub. Seat has been recovered and looks good, not perfect. Tank is very nice. The rivets for the brackets are very tight and it snaps well to the frame. They\'re often sloppy or loose and this is really nice.Bike has been completely serviced with fresh grease all around in every bearing, fork, crank, hubs. Skiptooth chain is good. Tires are vintage Carlisles which are rideable, but could use replacing before putting any serious miles on.Message with any questions. Local pickup is welcome. I will ship; bike will be partially disassembled to ship.
