Thanks! The link he provided makes me believe the Goodyear is a 1948, and that would fit the plate tag issue.
I would like to get a year on the Elgin, I hope someone can assist.
I recently picked up these two bikes at an estate sale. They have been buried in a garage for several years.
I was hoping someone could please help identifying the year on these bikes.
The Elgin appears to have a serial number S2137 and the Womans Goodyear Double Eagle has a serial number...
My wife and I want to thank you all for the positive comments. Much appreciated.:happy:
I had the opportunity the other day to pull out the last build off bikes I have done and get a quick picture.
Thanks G-Matt, I don't think the pictures show the glitter of the frame and the fenders. This bike sparkles nicely in the sun. This was fun to do, but I prefer a bike with a rusty patina. You never worry about scratches!
I'm quite pleased how this bike turned out and the most important part...the wife loves it. Thank you all for the positive comments and suggestions. I really enjoy watching the creativity of so many excellent builders.
