Ok, I always wanted an Elgin Robin and was lucky enough to find the heart and soul of a Robin on eBay.

Help Support Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum:
A fellow CABER contacted my with a project Robin Frame and Fork that he will ever get around to.
The frame was already down to the metal so all I had to do was to add a (very) little paint and rust it.
I had some blue fenders that were kicking around for a while so I stripped them down to the stainless and also did the same to the fork. Rusted the fork and added some parts that were in the shed.
With today being Memorial Day it was fitting to add Red and Blue accents to the bike.

Lol...I bet you have
My 8 year old wanted me to add a chain guard so I had to switch out crank and do some grinding on the new one to make it work
My 16 year old doesn't like the guard. What's your thoughts?

Actually I think the combination of that chain guard with the tank make it look like it's a streamliner already in motion.
I like that guard with the bike!
You should move this build over to Build Off 11 and enter it. You started after May 1st and I am guessing you'll be done before Aug 1st.

Started last night...lol.
I added a SWEET 30's Art Deco basket to it the other day. It even has a FAST basket too!
I found a relative of my Robin. 38 Ford
