Hello everyone, I just joined the forum after picking up this bicycle which from pictures and headbadge I believe to be a 1940 Elgin. At first I was going to restore it, but the more I looked at it I think I might just leave it the way it is (cosmetically) and get it up and running (new tires, chain,grease bearings or replace them)
. This poor bike was left in a very damp environment to rust in peace for a long time. I think I am going to give it a light sanding to knock off the scale and maybe shoot some clear on it and enjoy! If any one on here has parts for this old girl I would love to put her back on the road! Thanks in advance. rustyman
