Pre-war skip tooth 1936 Elgin Oriole. This is a unique and regularly ridden 90 year old bicycle. The star crankset and fenders have been cleaned up but still match the patina of the rest of the bike.

Bearings/hubs have been rebuilt in the last few years. The grips, tires, and a few fender bolts are not 1936 but make it a rider. Original tires, Bridgestone Silverstone 26×2.125s are included and hold air for display. The original seat cover is chipping at the edges as is to be expected on a bike this old. Also included is the folding child seat that came on the bike.

Plenty of eras of surface rust and paint peel but the frame is solid and a fun cruiser, rat rod, or a klunker project. Size seems to be fairly universal but more measures and pictures can be provided on request.
