I built both of these from pretty wasted frames. Ordered long head tube sections from Nova cycle supply and some frame tubing. I also built the forks using tall threaded steerer from Nova as well. Both of the bikes are great riders and very solid. I made a jig on my welding table, along...
i was think the same, but the shape of embossing around badge area doesn't look familiar. 2 3/16 center to center spacing. But appears to have small round tabs at top and bottom of badge.
This was a fun build that started with nothing more than a really roached and twisted wishbone frame. Designed by my inner 12 year old. Built for the RRBBMBBO. Say that three times real fast. 7 speed on the floor. Ready to race……
It was my pleasure to help ya. Always good to see some of that history preserved from our childhoods. You will have to bust it out when @Mr. Monkeyarms gets the rides going in Longmont. Congrats!!
I have been getting a lot of enjoyment out of this one lately. Picked up the frame from the classifieds here. Tossed a bunch of old BMX stuff on it and a decent coaster wheelset. Very comfy and enjoyable riding bike.
I have seen some new ones on eBay but looking for something with a bit of character. I need a 30s era Colson badge. 2 3/16 center to center mounting. Not really concerned with brand, but looking for the right badge for bike I regards to manufacture. Hoping to find something here before I hit...
My Mom and brother live about 40 miles south of Angola. I found the location of the original factory. its been partially torn down. Im going to do some hunting and
research next time I am back that way.
The Torrington would not clamp down hard enough on the bars. Almost ate gravel. 😀. Put on another appropriate stem and changed out the bars. Added some LED lighting and painted them to blend in a bit better. Messing with seat position. Quite happy with it all now. Cool old Klunk.
Spent the last few weeks going through this one and making needed repairs. But took it out and broke it in today. Really happy with the ride. Emblem built Elgin.
Thanks. It will evolve I suspect. But the crucial stuff was saved. Hoping I can get fenders looking decent. You can see, or not see the frame repair here.
The Elgin is almost ready for the road. Chain tomorrow and time for a test ride. Re laced triple step wheels that @saladshooter hooked me up with. Thank you! The fork was really bad, but I got It unmangled and respectable. All the fractures were taken care of and paint touched up and...
OG Delta Rooster. OG reflector not installed. Will likely work with some cleaning. No major corrosion. OG paint. As good as I have seen them. 180 shipped in continental US
You all have been a great help. Thank you. I will get some more photos when out innthe shop. I suspect the crank is Og but the chainring has been changed from a different bike and earlier model. The front wheel was a Schwinn. I believe I have a correct front for it but not on a Muselman hub.
