1920s Elgin

Had this one a couple of years and decided it needed a complete makeover. Four-speed Nexus hub laced to 700c alloys.

Nice and clean.

Interested in the grips. Are those the type from ebay / china or a specific brand. Always wondered if they stayed put and were comfortable.

They're off eBay. They feel fine. Haven't had any problems, but i don't have many miles on the build.

I'm out of town but will get the specifics when I return home in a week. I'm thinking Kenda and 700c 38. Bought at a bike swap meet.

A link would be appreciated
- my searching seems to lead to out of stock or European web sites.

I love the painted truss rods—almost makes them look like they're actually one-piece with the fork.

Schwalbe makes some brown tires in the same size, but they do have an annoying reflective stripe. I think Amazon has them.
