    Elgin Cl Score

    Care to elaborate on the history of the bike. I got a way different story from the dude I bought it from. i am keeping it for my girl to ride, but i think if i parted it at 250 there would be an easy 100 in it.

    Elgin Cl Score

    I tried to pay 229 because that was all i had on me, but i ended up paying 250 haha When i saw the condition of the bike i knew i did not have much bargaining power. If anyone has a elgin serial number list let me know, I have a boys bike I am trying to date as well.

    I suspected this one was late 30's. The seller said the orig owner said 1938. Any idea of the year of this bike?

    Building a bike for my girl, which one poll

    I showed her the monark super and it was shot down. It was between these two, but she basically told me to choose.

    Building a bike for my girl, which one poll

    So my girl is turning 30 :( just kidding. Anyway, its between these two and I cant decide. Color of these pics means nothing, I am talking strictly design here..... The first is a colson clipper. If I do a colson it will not have the cool fork, it seems impossible and $$ to find. The...
