Up for consideration is this prewar 1940 circa Elgin 4 Star twin bar original paint 26" balloon tire cruiser bicycle...
It a Pennsylvania bike, Last owner purchase his home 35 years ago and this bike was sitting in it's barn disassembled until this past July 2021... Bike have since clean keeping it original patina, Original wheels where not salvageable and replaced with a Front Stewart Warner Floating Hub and a rear Muscleman 2 speed with a REPOP rear frame mount shifter which is in working order... Light, Saddle as well as tear drop pedals where also added, Frame is structurally sound... No visible cracks, dents or damage... Rear fender has a small right side edge rust spot! Chrome as well as paint do have surface rust as well as blemishes / scratches which is considered great vintage patina... Overall a fairly nice survivor which would make a great addition to any vintage bicycle collection... I did enclose a few before pictures. Thanks for looking!
