Wow, beautiful bikes! I’m hoping maybe someone here can help me out a bit. I’m very new to the rebuilding of old bikes and I’ve acquired this exact frame. It has an Elgin badge but, is it an Elgin? I’m also wondering if anyone can tell me about BB options. As there’s no ‘straight through’ cylinder, do I have to go with the original 1 piece type of crankset? Hope this is ok to post here and not too many questions.
