Metal Elgin

[Charles]

Walker sent me this on Friday AM

Want to do all bare metal and chrome

The frame and fork got worked on Friday afternoon

Did up the hairpin saddle Friday night

Built the mock up on Saturday
Gonna go with a solid skiptooth chain wheel, Diamond chain, dogleg crank & vintage patina pedals

The rear cog is a "skippy" conversion that runs super smooth

The badge will stay like this

Cool

I like your style of fork bending!!!

Great looking bike! How long are those cranks!!!

 

[Charles]

The crank arms are 7 with a 22/9 cog ratio. Low in the dropouts and smallish tires rollin'

Love it I think I'm gonna build my straight bar frame bare metal what type of fenders are you usein.... i like the look with the new bars and white walls too...

Thanks for the looks ratts. This one is a lot lighter than the other Elgin using aluminum bars, ladies pedals, featherweight stand, and smallish tires. The seat has less bulk and the addition of 61' fenders from a Sears flightliner was choice.
