Elgin Bluebird photos

[cyclingday]

Too bad no one hasn't taken it out for a ride in so long.

There's a debate over whether or not, this one is original paint.
My first reaction was that it was not, but the last time I was up there, I took a real close look at it, and now I'm thinking that it is.
Hard to tell, but either way, it is a very nice example.

Who remembers the Bluebird that Robertriley bought with the hole in it?

Well it belongs to me now and I gave it a little attention today.
I used all the original metal. The only metal added was filler rod for tiny holes and low spots.
