          Re:  Tender Offer for Interests in Balcor/Colonial Storage
               Income Fund  86 and Solicitation of Votes

Dear Interest Holder:

     On May 8, 1996, we advised you to vote AGAINST the sale of our
Partnership's properties to Storage Trust Properties, L.P. because the sale does
not maximize the return on our investment.  We believe our view is supported by
subsequent developments.  The General Partners have reported that U-Haul made an
offer to purchase the properties for $69 million (about $2 million more than the
proposed sale to Storage Trust).  U-Haul's offer has apparently been withdrawn
after discussions with Storage Trust, but we believe it still supports our view
that the properties should not be sold to Storage Trust for $67.1 million.
                           ---

     We believe that limited partners who desire liquidity have a better
alternative under our Offer to purchase your Interests (subject to proration) at
$260 per Interest than under the proposed sale with its lower liquidating
distribution.  Based on the number of Interests that have been tendered to date,
we do not believe our Offer will be over-subscribed.  We are seeking 100,000
Interests and to date only 14,083 Interests have been tendered.

     We are extending the period of time for which the Offer is open until 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on May 24, 1996.

     Our obligation to purchase validly tendered Interests is conditioned on the
holders of at least 75% of the Interests tendered voting "Abstain" or "Against"
the proposed sale of the properties.

     IF YOU WISH TO SELL YOUR INTERESTS FOR $260 EACH, PLEASE COMPLETE THE
ENCLOSED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, MARK THE FORM OF CONSENT "ABSTAIN" OR "AGAINST"
THE PROPOSED SALE OF THE PROPERTIES AND RETURN THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO THE
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF BOSTON AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN THE POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE
PROVIDED OR BY FACSIMILE AT (617) 575-2233.

     IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO SELL YOUR INTERESTS AND HAVE ALREADY VOTED IN FAVOR
OF THE PROPOSED SALE OF THE PROPERTIES, WE URGE YOU TO RETURN THE ENCLOSED WHITE
NOTICE OF REVOCATION TO THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF BOSTON AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN
THE ENVELOPE PROVIDED OR BY FACSIMILE AT (617) 575-2233.

     We thank you for your consideration and prompt attention to this matter.

                                   Very truly yours,

                                   PUBLIC STORAGE, INC.

without limitation, all rights in and claims to any Partnership profits and

attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to such Interests and (and any
and all non-cash distributions, other Interests or securities issued or issuable
in respect thereof on or after April 15, 1996), with full power of substitution

or after April 15, 1996 in respect of the Interests tendered hereby, accompanied
by appropriate documentation of transfer, and pending such remittance or
appropriate assurance thereof, the Company shall be entitled to all rights and
privileges as owner of any such non-cash distributions, other Interests or other
securities and may withhold the entire consideration or deduct from the
consideration the amount of value thereof as determined by the Company, in its
sole discretion.

          The undersigned understands that under certain circumstances set forth
in the Offer, and subject to the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Company may not be required to accept for payment any of the
tendered Interests.  In such event, the undersigned understands that any Letter
of Transmittal for Interests not accepted for payment will be destroyed by the
Company.

          The undersigned understands that, if proration is required pursuant to
the terms of the Offer, the Company will accept for payment from among those

Company and any designee of the Company as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact

substitution, to vote, in such manner as each such attorney and proxy or his
substitute shall, in his sole discretion, deem proper, and otherwise act

tendered hereby which have been accepted for payment by the Company prior to the
time of such vote or action (and any and all non-cash distributions, other
Interests or securities issued or issuable in respect thereof on or after April
15, 1996), which the undersigned is entitled to vote, at any meeting (whether
annual or special and whether or not an adjourned meeting) of Limited Partners
of the Partnership, or with respect to which the undersigned is empowered to act
in connection with action by written consent in lieu of any such meeting or
otherwise.  This proxy and power of attorney is coupled with an interest in the
Interests tendered hereby, is irrevocable and is granted in consideration of,
and is effective upon, the acceptance for payment of such Interests by the
Company in accordance with the terms of the Offer.  Such acceptance for payment
shall revoke any other proxy granted by the undersigned at any time with respect
to such Interests (and any such non-cash distributions, other Interests or
securities), other than the consent granted to the Company below, and other than
the irrevocable proxy granted to the General Partners pursuant to Article XXI of
the Partnership Agreement, and no subsequent proxies will be given (and if given
will be deemed not to be effective) with respect thereto by the undersigned.

          The undersigned understands that tenders of Interests pursuant to the
procedures described in the Offer and in the instructions hereto will constitute
a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Company upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of the Offer.  All authority herein conferred or
agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned
hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, legal and
personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.  This
tender is irrevocable except as stated in the Offer, however, Interests tendered
pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

tendering Interest Holders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal, waive
any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their Interests for
payment.

     2.  PARTIAL TENDERS.  If fewer than all the Interests held by an Interest
Holder are to be tendered, fill in the number of Interests which are to be

         (c) If any Interests are registered in different names, it will be
necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal
as there are different registrations.

         (d) If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a trustee, executor,

to be made to any person other than the registered holder, the amount of any
transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or such other person)
payable on account of the transfer to such person will be deducted from the
Offer Price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or
exemption therefrom is submitted.

     5.  SPECIAL MAILING INSTRUCTIONS.  If payment for the Interests is to be

determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, and its determination shall
be final and binding.  The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any or
all tenders of any particular Interests (i) determined by it not to be in the
appropriate form or (ii) the acceptance for purchase of Interests which may, in
the opinion of the Company's counsel, be unlawful.
