THE MOTO ELGIN

[Rat Rod]

I'm finally done with my pre-war Elgin build.

I switched a few things out recently. First I used the mint set of 85 Pro Class wheels I got off an old Mongoose ATB mountain bike (thanks James).

Next I added a new chrome chain and a very cool vintage Viscount MX seat that Skid Mark sold me.

It has turned out to be my favorite bike of all mainly because I searched and scrounged for every part on it and built it the way I like it.

I keep it at my office at the church and ride it daily. It's a very light bike and is a blast to cruise around on.

Here are the specs...

- Pre War Elgin frame
- Skull Skates Cruiser Handlebars
- 80s Pro Neck II BMX stem
- Tange BMX Headset
- 80s Pro Class 26 x 1.75 wheels
- 80s Sugino Road VX cranks
- Chrome Z Chain
- Shimano Freewheel
- VP Bear Trap Pedals
- 80s MX Brakes
- AME Tri Grips
- Viscount MX Seat
- Kenda Red Wall 26 x 2.125 Tires

Here's the eye candy...

Looks good. Those handlebars make any thing look tough.

What handlebars do you have on it's newer counterpart -Dyno Moto 7?

A really great looking bike. Looks fun to ride. All those parts from the 80s are giving me flash backs! :mrgreen:
