Elswick Lincoln Imp

[Rustyretro]

Here's my Lincoln Imp, restored from a wreck. It was originally black, but has been repainted in metallic copper. I had to put new wheels and pedals on it as the old ones were beyond recovery. Quite pleased with the result and it rides really well.

Very nice, great colour combination.

Cool. I've seen an imp in real life once. It was the most gorgeous colour I'd ever seen on a bicycle; kind of a burgundy main frame with what I can only desribe as 'duck egg' or pale green-ish-blue headtube, seat tube bands and mudguards. Or maybe it was a type of celeste? It was finished with gold decals. I've had my eyes peeled for ones that come on the evilbay since. I guess finding replica decals for an old Elswick is gonna be like looking for hens teeth?

I got the decals from H Lloyd - he has quite a few Elswick and Hopper decals. You can't see them very well in the photo but the little imp is on the forks and down tube along with the Elswick crest on the seat tube and rear mudguard.
