Elgin Motobike w/ Musselman Two Speed

[Slight_Rust_is_Accepted]

I have some manuals I'll dig through when I get home but I don't recall ever seeing this hub in any of them.

I love the farmers repair job on the saddle.
Lol!
Slight Rust is Accepted, is a real understatement in this case.

Only one I've ever worked on was the suicide shifter version on a Racycle....probably 25 years ago. And I think that was just to reattach and adjust the shifter fork/linkage. Cool piece!
I would be very delicate with what looks to be a brittle spring and cable. Might be hard to find factory replacements.

Surprisingly the cable and spring is still solid, spring works just fine it's just the cable running up to the shift lever is long gone.

I have a few. Plus an nos one in the box.

Man!
Aluminum sure is a wonder material, when you look at it, in comparison to all that iron, that Mother Nature is calling back to the womb.

Lol I love putting bikes back on the road that look like they'll fall apart, get a lot of looks.

Quick mock-up on it, I do want to put the two speed back on it eventually if I can get everything on it freed up.
