Sometimes you never know where a project might lead you. This old Elgin frame started out on a journey to become a Boardtracker. With the playful addition of a skirted rear fender draping the rear wheel like a cape, and two mountain bike handlebar extensions placed on the old handlebars like claws on a bat, the bike started to make a more sinister transformation.

Some flat black paint, and a couple of overbent chrome fork buttresses and the bike became positively gothic in character........A Norex leather seat from France provides a place for the Prince of Darkness to perch his boney butt as he pedals furiously about the night, Edwardian cape flapping in the breeze behind him.

I decided to stop and keep it simple. Less is more. Old Xav isn't going to dye his hair black and start wearing smudgy eyeliner anytime soon though......
 
I just swapped out parts between the new and old seat until it clamped tight. The post has a cinch nut that clamps the two sides of the frame together right behind the seat tube. Tires are some old Chen Sings that came on another bike.
