Hi everyone, I'm an avid cyclist and recent transplant to America, and I am getting deep into the weeds of American cycling history. My neighbor gave me the clapped out Schwinn above and I mildly rebuilt it and deeply enjoyed the process! Then I picked up a late 20s Elgin motorbike frameset.... And I began to understand how you all have so many bikes.

Have fairly straightforward plans for the Elgin, right now it's got most of the Schwinn's running gear. But I've had a long time dream of learning to braze so things might start to get out of hand.
 
Welcome. Sounds like you've definitely got the bike bug.
Between the cx touring bike, BMX, freeride hardtail, vintage MTB....

Killer bikes! I love that Elgin...Welcome :)
She's a beaut! And so many of the era look identical, it really is pure "this is a bike's bike" style

Welcome you'll find a bunch of great ideas and help here , inspiration abundant!

Thanks for the welcome! I have been finding some great inspiration here. I come from the mountain biking side of cycling, and the rapha-esque, gucci for guccis sake aesthetic so incredibly unrefined compared to the metalworked art I've seen on this and other vintage forums.
