Love that patina and the tank and rack.
I look forward to seeing what you do with this.
The frame and forks looks like the old Elgin motorbike that I just received.

Awesome find! I would love one of these, or a Hawthorne Flyer.

I was offered a nearly identical Ranger recently. Too bad the guy was asking $1500 for it. :|

Still looking for nice original "bright work" e.g. bars, stem, truss rods, crankset and a good battery can

PM or e-mail me jbgb39@yahoo.com

This winter I got a little caught up in home improvements and working on my old car. Now I am making progress on the Mead Ranger..
