1939 Elgin Twin 20

[azbug-i]

Found this bike on craigslist last week, stoked, and already am finding parts to complete it!!

I have found wheels, and a rear fender, and fender braces, and maybe grips. im thinking of painting it flat black. Ill leave the front shroud as is. and need to take a trip to the hardware store.

does this seat look correct? ive seen these bikes with different seats so idk if this one is right or not.

Could be, here's an add from 39.
Looks like the same wire frame. And here's a pic of my friend 39. It has a different frame.

Thumbs up for the bike, thumbs down for flat black.

Paint that sucker something bright and shiny so it stands out!

Serial dates it to 39 though

Pretty sure that would be the correct original seat.

Try the flat black with the bright red rims
That's a classic hot rod look
