My Fresh Elgin

[Danimal]

In case you missed the photos from Monson, this is all I bought. Another project I don't have time for but I knew I wouldn't find another anytime soon.

Frame has a few rough spots (and a few tiny rust holes), chrome on fork is all toasted, wrong wheels, bars, and stem, missing tank, seat, grips, and the bracket for the rack. But it's a Blackhawk!

That's such an awesome frame, it has some nice lines to it too. Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Thank Bob for stainless fenders!
I've had a few rustbombs I've been able to salvage at least the SS fenders from.

Well you can't see it in the photo, but the front fender is junk. It's broken off right about where the brace mounts. I'll trim it down, but the "duck-tail" is gone. If you have a front you want to sell, let me know.

That's a cool bike, Dan! Don't forget to fix that dropstand :mrgreen:

I will gladly take those incorrect handlebar's off your hands.. free of charge!

My favorite part of you buying that bike is when you asked the guy if the wheels were correct and he replied "well, the frame takes 26" wheels and that's what's in there" or something like that. Wish I had that ladies Elgin I parted out this summer with the stainless steel fenders, good luck on the hunt Dan I'll keep my eyes open.

Actually Walker, I think Tom asked him that. It was a good answer.

I'll find a fender soon enough, they aren't *that* rare. However, the correct rims...never gonna find those. Too bad Joe just sold his this winter.

You know how as soon as you get rid of a project the parts you were searching for finally turn up. So just run that bike up to my house and save yourself the agony.
