THE ELGIN RETURNS...

[Rat Rod]

Did a bit of horse tradin' today with member Henry Morgan and now the old Elgin is back in my garage...only with a few new nifty additions.

Henry was kind enough to include a springer fork, skiptooth drive train, drop stand, bars/stem and a set of cream wheels with black pinstriping that matches the patina of the bike.

I got it home today and threw some Quick Bricks on that I have had for years now and I think they look pretty nice on this bike. Just need an old ratty looking pre-war sprung saddle in black to finish this one off...let me know if you have one.

I agree with Tin Man, that's a keeper! The springer really makes the bike :wink:

 

[Pappy]

I'm digg'in those handle bars...very nice...P 8)

 

[outskirtscustoms]

Very nice specimen there!

 

[aka_locojoe]

Always liked that one. Wasn't in more of a klunker form when you had it before?

Yep...good memory Randy.

 

[sleepy]

Did it come with a chain?

 

[Rat Rod]

Actually...it came with a sack full of skip tooth chains and 4 or 5 skip tooth chainrings and cranks.

Henry was cleaning house this weekend. :lol:

if you dig deep in that bag .. there is a couple sets of vintage pedals

Yes...pedals...need to install those and the chain.

Wondering if a wide Brooks would look out of place on this one.

 

[user 135]

A Brooks never is out of place, unless it is on Uncle Stretch's bike.

 

[Henry morgan]

it will go faster with pedals and a chain .... you could always harness up the kids and have them pull ya...

Received a seat today from member Chips_Mahoy...what do yall think?

BTW...the seat post won't go in any further than this....looks like I need a layback post.

 

[CRASH]

Good choice with that seat. And I agree on the laidback.

 

[beatcad]

layedback or 90* seatpost....maybe.
that seat....no. it looks like a girls bike seat(saddle :roll: ) and i bet is as uncomfortable as it looks

 

[Rat Rod]

It is a girl's seat and not comfortable.

I may use it on something else.

 

[user 135]

I may use it on something else.

I agree. A B67 would be nice.

 

[Mr. Kool]

I really like the white on the seat, it make it pop.
