🅵🅾🅾🅻🅸🅶🅰🅽 - 1930s Elgin Oriole
Here is FOOLIGAN, my entry for Build Off 19 (my 14th build off in a row). It started as a rusty crusty 1930s Elgin Oriole. The frame, seat, and fender are all original with their natural 90 year old finish.Then I added:
- 1950s Evanaction springer fork (which I painted to match the natural paint on the frame).
- 1960 Columbia Fire Arrow bugeye tank with working push button bell
- Project 346 three speed shifter custom mounted into the tank with B&M shifter handle
- Custom handlebars that were gifted to me by OddBall (OCDConnection) when I visited him in London in 2022. He welded these up from gas pipe. Custom mount mirror as well.
- MOONEYES Moon Discs
- Schwinn Aerovane 26x3 fat tires
- Custom drop out extensions made from OCC dropouts to extend the fat wheelset back far enough to clear the frame
- 1930s Elgin Fender Kilt Guards (formerly skirt guards on a ladies Elgin)
- 1960s Evans chainguard
- Rat Fink headbadge
- Rat Fink head as frame ornament
- Custom Floating Hot Wheels Sammich panel behind seat tube
- Vintage 1920s pair of glass jeweled fender lights
- Vintage STOP reflector given to me by my friend Lee Pua when I visited his bike shop in Manila Phillipines
- Monark chainring
- Torrington pedals
- Thomson ball end grips
Here is how the Oriole looked when I got it eight years ago
