Beloved Spouse and I had a lady-front, balloon-tired, rear-steered Colson for a while. Greatest virtue: Great fun for parade riding, impersonating Victorians for those who didn't care that Victorians didn't have curved-tubes and balloon tires. Never lost sleep about having sold it. I think for the same $50 I bought it for.

This exhausts the list of virtues. Ours was of roughly late Columbia quality. It would not qualify for further discussion on this list as classic, vintage, racing... but a nice novelty.
