Look Ma, No Hands!
Hey All, my name is Art and I am another dreaded “Newbie”. I am new also to bicycle collecting, having bought my first old bike, a 1939 Elgin for my wife, a few years ago. I just bought 7 assorted bikes from a 70 year old barn, two of which are pre-war. I believe my nickname “Lucky”, given by my friends for my lucky finds at swap meets, etc, may be true this time also. I need confirmation of what I found, possibly the year estimate, and maybe value. Thanks to your incredible forums, I have come to believe my bike is a 1918-20 Indian, serial number “17587” so close as I can see. The serial number is not on the two piece crank cover, rather on one of the two bars between the crank and the “curved” rear crossbar. There is no head badge. Any help would be great. Thanks, Art.
