1954-55 Evans-Colson Firebird

by Dave Stromberger · September 4, 2001

This top of the line Firebird 3-speed model has seen better days, but it is a rare bike worth saving. Unlike the more common Olympic model it features caliper brakes that reach around the fat fenders, Evanaction spring fork, chrome Delta headlight and tail light with built in stoplight feature that worked based on the movement of a ball bearing.
