Elgin Twin

Well, here it is. I think I might try that boiled linseed oil to keep it from rusting. But for now, I'm done with it. Oh yeah, I finally found a proper place for the VFW plate.

I'm having a bendix aviation 2 speed hub put into a green wheelset I have for the Twin. And it's going to get painted after all. Now I just have to pick another color.

I really like that wheelset. If you ever want to get rid of it, I'd love to get them from you.

I have 27 sets of felt wheels on 27 bikes they have big stainless spokes and gears from 3 speed to 8 speed alphine and disc brakes and they fit without any modifications and i kept the original wheels

Well, little update on the Twin. Rear wheel is built with the aviation 2 speed hub. Had to replace the axle of the front wheel. Got lucky with that. It now has cream color duro tires on it. I've decided it's going to be a gloss hunter green, but I'm leaving the patina on the fenders. Will try to post pictures tomorrow. Still have to take it apart for paint.

I promised pictures. Here they are. Enjoy. I'll be doing shakedown cruise next week. Make sure everything works properly, then blow it apart for paint.
