Some new stuff....'41 Elgin and a '62 Columbia Firebolt

[SimpleMan]

A few new bikes for me.....yes I'm happy :mrgreen: They both need a good detail but will remain original.

The Firebolt is all original except for the tires.....I'm sure Kenda knobbies weren't original :roll: Even the light lense is still there! I did score a very nice set of original Uniroyal chains for it though. The Firebolt was a nice craigslist find.......only the second bike I've bought from Craigslist. Between Nate and the Cincy boys, it's darn near impossible to find the good stuff on CL around here :mrgreen:

The Elgin is one of Nate's CL finds and hung in a restaurant for 30 years or so. It's going to clean up very nicely.....I think I can still smell the hamburgers in the dust on this thing

Great scores :wink: If you ever get rid of the tank on the Firebolt, LET ME KNOW :shock: That's the only thing I'm missing on my all original 62 Firebolt :mrgreen: Oh yeah, on mine the pedals aren't original But they are nice

nice scores, good for you! On a seperate note, I received my little "time capsule" (package) from you yesterday. NICE! Thanks. I left feedback(positive) for you.

Nate.....just threw a few vintage parts at it. I'm going to take it all the way apart and clean, polish and lube it up. Can't wait to get the bacon grease off of it!

It looks like you have already started to clean the elgin. Im glad it went to a good Home.

Thanks guys...I've admired the Firebolts also. If I decide to sell it, it will be in one piece. I was second in line to look at it. The first guy was a no show......gotta love Craigslist :mrgreen:
