The Elgin is almost ready for the road. Chain tomorrow and time for a test ride. Re laced triple step wheels that @saladshooter hooked me up with. Thank you! The fork was really bad, but I got It unmangled and respectable. All the fractures were taken care of and paint touched up and distressed accordingly. Still a few more details to finish up, but am quite please with the results. It was the most work I have put into preserving one. Working on fenders now.

Thanks. It will evolve I suspect. But the crucial stuff was saved. Hoping I can get fenders looking decent. You can see, or not see the frame repair here.

Nice repair job. I could not see it ans would never even think to look for a repair unless you mentioned it. NICE RIDE....

The Torrington would not clamp down hard enough on the bars. Almost ate gravel. . Put on another appropriate stem and changed out the bars. Added some LED lighting and painted them to blend in a bit better. Messing with seat position. Quite happy with it all now. Cool old Klunk.
