I live for the CABE
SOLD pending payment - I am selling my circa 1936 Elgin bicycle with mounted complete and correct Elgin Cycle Motor. I am open to partial or complete trade offers of original streamline bikes, Indiana- or Tennessee-built TOC bikes, prewar or immediate postwar boys tank bikes, etc. Tell me what you have to trade.
1936 Elgin w/motor as shown - $1750 is the new lower price, local pick-up or shipping through your shipper (like uShip).
The bicycle itself is an older restoration (with a few paint chips) missing only the grips and a drop stand. I have a stand I can include. It has Carlisle Lightning Dart whitewall tires with good tread and pliable rubber. The tubes hold air for a couple months at a time. The engine mounted to it is complete and according to the friend I bought it from "almost runs." Someone handy with small engines could probably have it going pretty quickly. Gas tank is clean and undented, muffler and carb are clean and correct as well. The cast mounting brackets are extremely rare. I only know of one other set though there may well be more around in someone's stash. The bike with its motor:
Elgin Cycle Motors were made in Muncie, Indiana, by Muncie Gear Works and were sold as a package or complete with bike by Sears, Roebuck & Co. The identical motor with a different flywheel cover was also sold as the Muncie Cycle Motor. The same company also made Neptune Outboard Motors. The motors have Tillotson carburetors and are 2-cycle.
If you need to see photos of anything else, please PM me. I have lots more photos. PM with any questions, too. Thanks for looking. SOLD pending payment
