1936 ELGIN MOTO BIKE

[Rat Rod]

Well, I've decided to keep the old bird for a while and spruce it up a bit.

Thinking about having the frame and forks powdercoated black and having the fenders blasted and leaving them raw. I think the fenders will look nice with the other metal parts. May even get my buddy Chad to lay down some stripes on the raw fenders eventually.

Just need to track down a seat, some handlebars and some tires. The current seat is no longer usable because the leather ripped up the middle. The tires are also seriously trashed....had to see in the photos.

Here's the bike as I found it....

And here it is partially broken down.

Sounds like a good color scheme. Not surprised you're keeping that one.

Sounds like a good plan. That has to be a new favorite for Chainrings.

You are correct sir!

 

[CCR]

[Wingman]

Keeping it seems like a good move ........

The front wheel cleaned up pretty well...there is some light oxidation in spots.

From what I can tell it's the original chrome. So far all I did was use soap and water and some Mother's chrome polish.
