Default A few Pics of my Early 1920s Elgin board track in barn find condition

The Frame is an early 1920s Elgin "Factory Bike" in original Barn Find condition.

Thanks for the nods of approval on the build, but sorry to say,...I cant take credit. Assembly was done by the previous owner. The Tank was hand fabbed from copper over a wooden buck fitted to the frame, then soldered together over the buck. The Fuel Neck parts which were also soldered on were brass hose and plumbing bits, with the creative copper vent loop on top of the tank.

!HOW! I'm impressed WildWestRider, by both your build and your being able to post pictures that are from my eyes High Definition, your build is outstanding to say the least!

Peace Crazy Horse.

That thing is beautiful! Now you just need to "age" the engine a little bit so it will match the bike!!!

That's a real old looking retro deal you got there. You could make it look even older by painting the engine side covers a darker color. It has a real wild west look for sure. Nice original job, not many do that look, and the tank really sets it off, beautiful.
