Thanks 808... You just gave me a lot of info I'd been scratching my head about. I'm going to give the XRDF rear hub a try . I'll use a White Industries 18t freewheel. I'm also thinking 170 ENO cranks and a 32t White Industries ring. Hopefully a 103 BB will get it done. Might be pretty tight...

Why do you think the axle threads stripped out? Maybe I'll upgrade the axels to chromoly... Justin

Been a while since I've had a build thread so I figured, since I picked up this awesome 36' B-model straight bar, straight down tube Schwinn, I'd go ahead and document it. Been wanting to do a Klunker style build for a while now. So here goes.... This frame was an eBay score and you always take...

CL score for $100.. Gary Fisher Tassajara and a Schwinn Sierra. Not bad!

Count me in! Will it be offered in raw form?

He did all the right moves. Tough to improve on that.

This.. or something similar to this is what I'm after.

Could this thing be earlier than 41'? I was told it was 41, but I need a second opinion.

Oh whoops. What was I thinking!? I should've known that. Thanks for the heads up sir! Fixed...

I had picked up a ladies Elgin a month or so ago from a guy deep in Marin county. When I picked it up I noticed 4-5 pre war Schwinn straight bar frames hanging in his shop. I took note..... Well, recently I decided to give him a call and see if he'd be willing to part with one, and he bit! Said...

SOLD! To California. [emoji4] I think it will end up being be a sweet urban klunker build for next years build off! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still available? Is the frame straight, as far as you can tell? Shipping to Carmichael, CA 95608?

Thanks Sludge! That Elgin girl is similar, but the differences are that the seat tube is straight and it has hub tensioners where mine doesn't. Other than this two things, its the same bike. Was the curved seat tube specific to a certain year(s)?

Serial # SE 2959 - I'm pretty sure its 1940, but can anyone point me to where I can research this serial number further? I'm ot having much luck. Trying to narrow down the year, and what exactly it looked like new. I'd like to see what type of truss rods it had, and if it came with a drop stand...

PayPal sent. Thanks,

Still have any drop stands or material to make one?? 26"

I'd be interested in the dogleg crank set up, if yo have a price on just that.

Who can tell me if Elgin models were ever sold with non-skip tooth sprockets? ...and if so, what they look like. :113: Thanks!

Nice.. rusty gold! Did it come with that drop stand & clip? I'll buy it from ya if you're feelin' like selling it.
