    Hawthorn Tank Bike

    Just got this from a friend. Been wanting to make a klunker and am thinking of using the frame. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't worth beaucoup bucks before I do that. I'm muscle bike guy so I don't really know the tank stuff. I'm guessing it's pretty run of the mill tank bike but I dunno. Any...

    Those double white band trelleborgs really knock that playbike outta the park!

    Picked up a few Muscle Bike parts recently!

    Sorry to hear about the robbery but my brain is still looking at that cache and going "hamana-hamana-hamana" If that is the definition of "a few parts" than I might be a few parts short of complete bike figuratively speaking of course. :bigsmile:

    Huffy "The Wheel" help needed

    @CRASH Yeah, I figured a black knob from a 333 shifter would be close enough and easier to find than the correct one. And yes a smaller seat on it right now. About to put the cheap new Taiwanese one back on. This bike still needs plenty to be correct but I am much happier now that I got the...

    Huffy "The Wheel" help needed

    Coming along... Got the double red band tires and correct front wheel a few months ago. Also got the correct drag brake lever sans the knob. Fenders, sissy, and seat are still incorrect. Would love to find a black 333 shifter knob, correct fenders, etc...

    Sting-ray windshield repops?

    Has anybody ever repoped the sting-ray windshields? Of course, I want one for my Fastback but don't feel like paying $300+. Does anybody here have one they could make a tracing of on paper for me? I could probably figure out how to fab one from plexi pretty easy.

    Working on getting this bike somewhat back to original. Stalling out on finding the right parts of course. What I really would love to find is: front wheel, front and back fenders, parking break stick (with brake cable housing would be AMAZING!!!), Double red band slick (I know, I know, I...

    (MBBO#05 Class 1) 1965 Columbia Playboy 88

    Sorry I am dragging on this rebuild guys. Getting the ol gentrification boot out of my current commercial space and having to move my sign shop and bike stuff into a new studio. Should be getting to this towards the end of the month. In the meantime here is a page from a Columbia flyer I got at...

    (MBBO#05 Class 1) 1965 Columbia Playboy 88

    I found this on craigslist about a year ago and been keeping it in my basement until had the time. Looks like the time is now! Looks good from a distance but up close is another story. But it looks like it should clean up good. Rust isn't tooooo bad. I wiped a small area of the...

    (MBBO#05 Class 2) GET SMART!

    For a city bike that is a really cool frame. The ones here in Boston look especially stupid. Kinda reminds me of the rollfast/hawthorne muscle frames http://ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/hawthorne-bike-info-cleaned-up.91187/
