ELGIN DECOLUXE

[The Renaissance Man]

Well I've delayed showing the fender braces long enough. Like I said before, I've been working these out from the beginning and made and fitted the last piece just two weeks ago and put everything together one last time before blowing it apart for paint.

With just over a week to go, this is my RRBBO version of an October surprise!

Somehow the 'braces' give the bike a lighter weight look. Streamlines the bike.....there's an aka for you...."Elgin Streamliner".

Oh yeah! I've been waiting for those!
Good eye and design flow with them. I wasn't thinking about them up front.
Well done Jim!

Over the top.....AGAIN!! You really know how to raise the bar, don't you?!?!?!

 

[SwissGuy]

This is becoming a piece of art! Elgin Art Deco!

Well, there goes ANY chance that I may have had at a win this year. If it means a bike like this exists somewhere in the world, I'm totally okay with that.

Brother I love that you do so much with limited welding skills. It gives guys like me the courage to attempt to build a custom bike with our limited skill sets and play to our strengths.

I'd comment on this work of art, but I'm having a hard time catching my breath at the moment.......

I'll be on your side of town Saturday. Have a seconds for me to take a peek?

Just had another nice visit with Tyler and Don from AVBS! It's always fun when they come by, good folks!
