i was told this bike is a 1936 Elgin Motorbike style bicycle. the bike is in very good condition with no cracks or repairs on the frame or the fenders, there are no dents in the fenders or frame. the handle bars are rusty and pitted the red handle bar grips are good.
this bike has been painted brown it look like it was red. it has two grease ports on top of the crank housing, the bike stop good with the new Departure Model-D-Hub and brake Arm the back Hub has a oil port.
the Drop center chrome wheels are in very good shape and they run true for a bike. the bike carrier spring mouse trap rack is in very good shape as you can see in the picture. the bike has a good Dropstand.
i put the vintage brass solar carbide lamp on the bike i thought it look good on the bike it is all there, i will include it, the lamp is in good condition it has a small u shape crack in the top of the lens the lens door works good.it has the green and red side jewel, it need a good cleaning. the ooga horn workes.
i put new red tires and tubes on the wheels. the seat and seat springs are in ok shap.
It's all original, except the paint and the tires. He painstakingly rebuilt the wheels with new old-stock correct concave rims and stainless steel spokes. It appears to have bronze nipples on the spokes. The hubs are flange vent air cooled hubs - see in the photos. The seat is a Mesinger, and is excellent except for slight tears from leaning against the wall - tears show in the pics.
The seat tube has the cool curve to it, and it looks like it's going 90mph standing still. It has a solid pre-war chain ring and the swoop back Elgin handlebars with the rocket handgrips. I don't believe the stem is correct. The gentleman repainted it himself so the paint is not show quality but it is a beautiful job. I showed my friend Dave this bike, he collects professionally restored bikes. I asked him if I should have it repainted and he said no - so what you see is what you get.
