^<>^ 30 Sumthin Elgin and something Really Cool ^<>^

[yeshoney]

My latest acquisition is a 30 something Elgin. Metal clad wood wheels, Musselman pat pend hub may be date coded after I clean the grease off. More to come on that. Red leather Troxel Long spring saddle and Torrington handle bars. Oh yeah and that last pic is a CVT Nuvince current generation Blackout hub on Sun Rhino Lyte wheels. Hubs are disc ready and I have a set of 8" Hayes rotors and Hydraulic brakes ready and waiting.

Nice Joe! That one is cooler than the blue one. Getting a little Elgin collection together?

Nice Elgin.

Did you buy that Nuvinci as a complete wheel? From Niagra Cycle? I have been tempted to buy one as they make a great hub for Xtracycles.

 

[yeshoney]

Nope, not from Niagra Cycles. Got it on ebay though for a song. Gonna lace them up to a set of creme with black pinstripe Schwinn S-2 wheels. 8) 8) :shock:

Nice Elgin.

hmmmmmm........... that bike looks really familiar
id venture to say its late 20's(same frame forks,fenders,etc. as mine and board track fans newest)
and just so you know that frame will not fit balloons

Joe - I love that bike. Did you get that in MASS. I looked at a bike exactly like that but the forks were bent.

 

[yeshoney]

I went into Maine yesterday. 430 miles roundtrip, my buttocks were a tad sore from sitting for so long. I was just north of Freeport so i did the obligatory stop at LL Bean to see the trout!

Forks bent? they can be fixed!

Joe, you obviously have no use for anything new, i can send a UPS call tag for those wheels :wink:

The Elgin is sweet but those wheels will be fun to build into something.
