Elgin Old Army

[Ken Nighplay]

Realy nice build. Love the mix of parts, and super job on the rack.

I really like this so far...It has a nice look about it.
I'd ditch the chrome and paint all chrome parts black.
The chain sprocket throws it off a bit too...unles there was some more black about it.
But over all it is prime time! Love the rivits on the fenders too!
*All the builders who post a final build will get to vote on 3 bikes...the winner will have the most votes.
Good Luck Man!

SWEEET!!

My exact thoughts!

 

[Gdcast]

awesome!

Even thou I love the back light, i would save it for another build, and replace it with a blackout light...

just my two cents :roll:

 

[hewey]

Looking fantastic! Nice work on the seat and rack too!

waiting on parts is the hardest part of the build.Ordered spokes and a brake leaver.

 

[frameteam2003]

Not a lot to report.Doing small catch up jobs.Covered the grips with the same leather as the saddle

 

[frameteam2003]

Got the wheels today.It finally rolls,still have some parts to add but now I feel like I'll make the deadline
