After three years of this bike sitting in the basement collecting dust ....

I finally redid it for my 9 year old son's Christmas gift

[crump582]

Changing mine up a little... not decided on bars yet, but made a fender from an old front fender

[Crassly]

Thought I might as well throw out a photo of my 1953 Hawthorne. Purchased from the original owner. Only seat and bars are replacements, everything else is original, even the Riverside Mate whitewalls.

Here is my Roadmaster, My build is almost done, I decided to go with VO Belleville's with this bike. I ordered them today, and I will be using them with some coke bottle grips, I borrowed these bars from my 66 Collegiate. I also ordered a layback seat post from the sportsman flyer website. I took these pictures today after coming back from a cruise to the beach just as the sun began to set, 74 degrees in February! Gotta love California.



At the beach, Pictures re not the greatest but hey..

Do you have a picture of the head badge screw holes from that 1938 wards made hawthorne?

[1959firearrow]

Sadly it is missing the headbadge but its the same as the 1940 girls Wards Hawthorne if you want to pm me your email and I will take some pics and send you a link.

Not 100% sure if this is CW, but was told by someone here that it might be. I'll put it up and if anyone can verify, it would be nice. Serial#: H W 3 1 7 8 6 I'll remove it from this thread, if it's not CW.

Found in the Thrift store. will go to get it soon.

[1959firearrow]

Possibly1946-47? I'm not entirely sure but I thought the H was either 46-47 Nice CW built western flyer hope you get it before someone else does.

Cleveland Welding serial numbers had one letter followed by 5 numbers, so I don't think its CW.

I could be wrong with the #. when it gets home, I'll confirm the # again (w/ the picture, if possible). Thanks for clarifying it.
