1936 Colson Commander

by Dave Stromberger · March 6, 2005

The Colson Commander of the mid 1930’s was a very rare bike, made of two pieces of tubing that ran in a continuous loop from the top of the head tube, around the back, under the crank housing and back up to the head tube again. Just behind the head tube was encased in sheet metal for design and to provide an area to store the batteries for the horn and headlight.
