Pre-war Elgin

[JerryP42]

I picked up this Elgin this week.
Thanks for the lead @schwinndoggy, I think I've settled on HotRod Black and Gloss Red. What ya think buddy?

Why don't you just shine up the original paint and ride?

 

[Jay81]

Yes, please don't ruin a nice original bike by repainting it!

 

[SKIDKINGSVBC]

Keep it as original paint as possible. Original paint is BOSS!..Just wouldn't look good repainted at all next to those fantastic 70 plus year old buildings

Very nice OG bike, please DONT repaint!

 

[rollfaster]

Also, would love to see the serial number when you can.

He's a friend of @schwinndoggy I'm sure he's kidding...

 

[DonChristie]

Nice score Jerry! Glad you got it! Definately repaint that thing! Haha! We kid! Triple 3 knows me too well!
