Two cool bikes! I like the major swept-back handlebars on the left bike

I agree, those bars are sweet! 8)

Re: '41 Elgin build

So..........

Back from the dead..... I knew I'd be busy lately so I let it sit for a while. With the Tail draggers show coming up I figured I'd get it Rollin for the show, if I can find the time, gonna really try to.

Stripped it down on the 3/4 horse stationary Black & Decker grinder with a wire wheel on it, wiped it down and cleared it. Got the rt side of the tank cleared also, along with the cranks and sprocket stripped and shot in satin black.

Oh yeah I took 60 grit sand paper to it also before wiping down and clearing.

Somehow I've missed this thread until now Kevin, those are a couple of Beautiful builds.
They are understated and streamlined, very tasteful use of materials and skill.

Re: '41 Elgin build

Thanks for the comments. LFD, it's only one build, just started with one frame found it was way to bent to put a tank on and did a switcharoo with another complete bike. Worked out pretty good as I got a straight frame, tank and other needed parts for a minimal investment after selling/trading off the leftovers.
