Elgin Gull Revisited

oldspoke · Jul 30, 2015

Hello Fellow Wheel Folk

This cycle has just "come out of the woodwork". Don't believe it when you are told that all the rarities have been found. This is a true barn fresh cycle that has hung in the rafters for over 50 years. Bars replaced long ago and no stand. I thought that folks here might appreciate seeing this bike.

So cool to see another one. Ever since I first saw the catalog ad in the Evolution book twenty some years ago, I've wanted one. Thought it would be nice to have a 26" bike versus the 24" Silver Kings. Then I heard that only one was known to exist. Dreamed of finding one since. Glad to know they're still out there.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Any more to the story?

Wonder how many miles are on the cyclometer?

Very cool! I think that makes five known of the Elgin Gull.
