ELGIN

[Rat Rod]

Got the Elgin frame in the mail today...not quite sure how I'll build this one up, but it should be fun.

 

[Markm]

Nice!! :mrgreen:

 

[socal_jack]

[Uncle Stretch]

Looks short to me :idea:

...not quite sure how I'll build this one up...

quickly, right after the colson clone is finished :mrgreen:

 

[Rat Rod]

Was thinking of possible using all black mean looking components.

Might have to rob those coaster wheels off the violet 65 Varsity....hmmm.

 

[sensor]

think no matter how you build it itll look good :mrgreen:

Nice frame. Build it up to look like the Dyno, then you could have twins....better than a clone. :wink:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Ok Cman just take a big knife and stab me. .....Better than a clone

 

[user 135]

Stretch. Twins are for us non-welder types. Your clones are amazing. When do we get to see production version?

You hit the nail on the head.....I'll also add black Monark springer, black BMX neck, black headset, black 3 piece crank set, etc...

 

[Hooch]

elgins are ugly and unsafe to ride but since I have an iron pile I suppose you could ship it up here for disposal lol

There's a serial number on the bb and a Sears and Roebuck sticker on the seat tube.

Wonder how old this thing is?
