TRADITIONAL 🅵🅾🅾🅻🅸🅶🅰🅽 - 1930s Elgin Oriole

The bike rode great as usual. I was wondering how all of the new tins would do. Especially the slightly different chainguard positioning. But no chain slap of cranks hitting. No unusual noises.

I old friend rode up behind me as I was scoping out a photo spot. It was the first time he saw FOOLIGAN and he loved it. He noticed the RF headbadge right away. Here is an out of focus pic he took of a fool with his FOOLIGAN.

Love the message he texted me afterwards -
"Heck yea! Good to see you still kicking butt with the builds. Makes my heart happy to see you enjoying that experience. "

The other cool encounter I had on my short ride was with a guy that was sitting on a bench near the fountain as I was taking the shadow photo. It started with the typical "cool bike man" call out. I stopped over and told him about it and the build off. He was thrilled how I cobbled all the mismatching parts to make them work together. Our conversation ended by him saying that my bike gave him inspiration and he was going to have to build a cool bike for his son. Hope he ends up on the forum, but mainly I hope he builds that bike!

In a bike friendly town like Savannah, there's no excuse not to have a bike.
