Hey guys, New here and to the vintage bikes, I recently picked up 2 bikes and am debating whether to fix and restore, just get ridable or sell.... Also not sure what years they are either.... Think the Elgin is a late 30s and The Veeco I have yet to find any info on it.... Any info is appreciated.... Thanks Danno

Welcome, that Elgin is really nice. Looks like Westfield, there should be a serial # under the bottom bracket. Mr. Columbia bikes website will show you the year of manufacture. The other bike, I can't tell whether it's British or Taiwan made. The rear hub may be an indicator, ie: Sturmey Archer or Shimano, would make a good college or city rider if not much work needed. Good luck w/ them.

Looks like the Veeco is British.
