Not sure if its a elgin robin

[41rollfast]

I bought this bike on Saturday thinking it was a elgin oriel but it looks to have the same paint designs as a elgin robin. Did the robin have grease zerks as well? both the head tube and bottom braket have them. Also what kind of hubs would this type of frame have ?? How about air cooled hubs or musselmans ??
Thank you for your time.

I have to agree Its a robin but, dont count 38 bluebird out there is a slight difference in the bottom tubes curve so make sure.

Oh yah the robins ive seen in person all had grease zerks as well with air cooled hubs..

Im now thinking its a bluebird as the fenders and fork match up to a 38 bluebird

you have a point grease port does say robin but the fork says bluebird as robins had a different fork.

Wow guys I'm so excited to hear about this. I've wanted a robin for a while, but to be a bluebird it's crazy. This was a seal for me !!!!

Ive seen 2 diffrent style forks for a bluebird and yes this is one but i still believe its Robin.. Maybe you can make it into a Bluebird if you desired

Does the fork and fenders match the patina of the bike?
