Elgin Black Hawk Value?

[Robertriley]

Here are a few of the different frames. The first one is like the one you are looking at to purchase. The second is an Elgin Blackhawk (notice the top bar), the last one is a Rollfast. You really can't tell but about 5 inches in front of the seat tube it splits into three bars. You can see a little glare where it splits. I can get a better photo for you later if you like.

I'm thinking $500 is a good deal for both parties. Then again, I frequently overpay, so I'm probably not the best guy to chime in. Good luck and hope you get it. Looks great without a tank .

The Black Hawk has the double top tube compared to a single on the Columbia.
Also the front of the rack on the Black Hawk goes around the seat tube and attaches to the tank.
Those are two main differences but I’m sure there are some other subtleties.

I got a head badge pic, pretty cool Century Cycle Co badge.
