Looks like good painting weather in corn country.

Pulled this one out of back stock. Wondering if there's something on here that I might want to use on this build;View attachment 159105

What a nice frame. The shape of the stays is gorgeous! Unique wheelset too. I look forward to the ride video
These Murray built Elgin frames are very sleek & smooth.
I am fortunate ..
I was able to score this bicycle back in 2004 .
I chose the dark gray because I figured it would be the color to:
Best show the curves and the smooth lines.
Man that is looking sharp!!!!!!!!
I do have to ask though, is that front fork bent? The fender seems a little closer to the frame than they normally are.

Thanks man . It starting to fall back together.
Nope, Fork Not Bent. Probably just the angle of the picture the wheels turned a little bit. & also the undersides of the fenders are flat black which gives a deeper optical illusion.
: front wheel & fender aren't adjusted yet .
Remember your looking at Gothic fendrrs...not round.

Put a different chainring on the original crank arms. This chain ring is from a 1930s c w c.
The skiptooth / 1" pitch drive train is very cool. I only have one bike with that set-up, mainly because of the access to / cost of the skiptooth chains. But I always smile when I ride the bike. There is a different feel.
Yeah, my preferred ride is the 1" pitch skiptooth.
It's like gliding as pedaling...
Here is my go to hood hopper.

With a 22t ladies chainring , as opposed to 26t...
Makes it easier on pedaling on hills.
Always thought that sprocket just didn't look right. Flippin it would make it better.
