Looks GREAT!

Thanks Skipton! I can't wait to get it finished AND for nicer weather so I can take it for a spin.

Unfortunately for Skip he sold me his Elgin, lucky me.

Built up without a tank

Tried a tank, but due to the top bar being so bent it wouldn't fit.

Ended up doin a frame swap. And sold off most the other parts.

Nice ride! Looks like it will be a blast to ride!

Interesting to see a boys bike with skirt guards!

Here is my recently aquired Elgin Project.

Updated Pic as of 3/19, I swapped out the crank for a Elgin skip tooth crank assembly, flipped the bars and put on some grips, put on a cool Brooks seat and changed out the rims for a set of New Departure Black out hub rims. Bike will be riding on a set of Electra Retro Runners. Skip tooth chain is soaking.

This is my first Mid 30's Elgin. Everything is original the way I found it except I had to replace the front and rear tires and I also sanded, primed and painted the rims.

 

[1oldbikelover]

This is how I found my first mid 30's Elgin bicycle. I had to cut off the original tires because they had been flat for so long and I couldn't rotate the wheel until I removed them from the rims. The woven skirt guard was tattered and not attached

completely.

Another picture of my Elgin; she's definitely a smooth rider

My 39-53 Murray long tank Elgin custom . Added Elgin skirtguards, full-size solid 39 elgin sprocket , 53 Murray springer , ratty original pinstriped rims with air cooled mussleman hubs , and a super cool 1893 Victor spring saddle post with Special leather saddle . (Enhanced patina) with original parts down to the chainguard and #8 torrington pedals . Part barn find, part hood rat , still in progress .I also have all of the removed original parts if it must be re-assembled as the factory may wish! Hmmmm, should I chrome the trophy sprocket , or not , that is a question ?

Here's my 1939 Elgin I recently picked up. I think the fork is bent. All chrome parts were painted silver; I'm trying to remove the paint to see what's underneath.
