      41 Elgin 4 Star Deluxe

      I apologize it’s been long overdue for an update. I finished the bike last month and I completely forgot to post photos of it. I took it on it’s maiden voyage and it rides nicely. But here it is finished up and put back together. Thanks to @Rust_Trader for hooking me up with the X-Pert...

      41 Elgin 4 Star Deluxe

      I used No. 7 Heavy Duty rubbing compound on the chain and skirt guard as well as on other pieces. I used TurtleWax rubbing compound once I ran out. I didn’t have much of the No.7 to begin with. Both work pretty similarly, they seem to have the same grit.

      Long overdue for an update. Final assembly should be soon. Tires mounted and wheels finished. Waxed the frame and all the painted bits. Greased the crank and purchased some repop Persons teardrop pedals for some extra bling. Sand Blasted the shroud pieces. Repaired any cracks with JB Weld...

      Well I finally scratched away some dirt and paint and found “SD” over “32953”. Any clue what the SD stands for?

      41 Elgin 4 Star Deluxe

      Headlight bezels are cleaned. I picked up some NOS Goodyear whitewalls to throw on the bike. The one on the left is all cleaned up just to show a comparison. I’ve finished polishing the back fender. Now I need to work on color matching the twin light die cast bits. @cyclingday, are your...

      Your bike came out very nicely! I’ve been really busy to work on mine. But since I saw this I have resumed working on it. I’ve got both hubs cleaned and greased up. Going to start reassembly soon.

      41 Elgin 4 Star Deluxe

      I starting cleaning the right side of ornamental piece just to get an idea of what cleaning that would be like. It has several paint chips down to the bare metal. The original blue paint seems to be flaking off in some places. It has several cracks in the casting as well. How should I go about...

      41 Elgin 4 Star Deluxe

      @Freqman1, I started using some Goof-Off on one of the headlights with some steel wool and all I gotta say is WOW! Stuff makes it seem too easy. But could Goof-Off also damage the original paints?

      Hi all! I’ve read many threads on this forum for several years but never actively participated but hopefully that is about to change. This place is a treasure trove of valuable information.

      Nice OG twin light ladies Elgin.

      I just stumbled upon this thread. I live nearby that antique shop and visited two days ago and saw the bike. I saw that it’s pretty much complete and I had to have it! They had scheduled monthly price drops on it. When I got there, they already lowered the price and I didn’t want to wait for the...
