So, after some cyberspace poking around found the Collegiate is a 1939-1941 Elgin. That the Airman break arm is a Spiegel mail order catalogue part for the Airman bike. And I ran out of time and fell asleep before I did much investigation on the Hawthorne.

Anybody have any information on these pedals? Thanks. I haven't a clue what they came off of.

For sale are a pair of 1950's WALD Red Bow Pedals. Show a little ware from use. No cracks or pieces missing. Both spin freely. These came off of my early 50's men's Hiawatha Seneca. (See last photo). Please ask any questions prior to making a purchase. $34 + shipping to your address. Will...

Went and looked at, but won't be picking them up until Monday. 3 very interesting ones I have to do some research on. One I'm just not sure who made it, no head badge and the quick picture of the serial number was too blurry. 1st up is this 20" skip tooth Girls Hawthorne. 2nd one is really...

I'm also working out in my head the best way to get some type of rear suspension, my brain is thinking small air bags and possibly adding spindles and u-joints to the axels so I can have some camber for higher speeds when I break down later and add that 3000w electric motor to it. A neighbor...

As of now I've settled on using that frame.just for reference. After all it is a 48 year old single year design bike and other then the rims and spokes I still have everything for it. And I think it will go smoother and have a cleaner finish built from scratch rather than chopping this up and...

Although I forgot I had this one. May represent the Yamaha Moto-Bike I little bette. For sure a stronger frame.

It's a $25 frame, forks & crank and since it's a "rail" frame I figured it's a good frame to try a couple techniques I've read about. Secondary goal is get it straightened and then convert it into my version of the Yamaha moto-bikes. I'm guessing I can cut out a good portion of the bend from...

I'm gathering parts now to build something similar to the straight bar bike near the top. And I had a beat up Mongoose like the second photo. And I also got a little sick to my stomach seeing the PK Ripper. I had my original 1st year ripper frame and forks sored in my parents basement for 35+...

I have decided to thin the heard so to speak and would like any insight to the fair value or fair asking price I may expect to price it or fair offer to consider accepting. Still have not decided if I want to take offer, set a price or auction it. Only thing I decided was to sell it complete...

Ok, after wasting an hour trying to sketch what was in my head based on the immediately on hand items . I had to build a tinker toy style mock-up to see if it made any sense. This is the rough 1st possible set-up. The wheels shown are all 24". Front is 36h disc rotor rubbed 24x1.75. The rear...

Was thinking maybe Mount it on a pole or post and make a sign to fit inside the frame openings and go so far as to add blades to a pair of wheels so they spin on breezy days. .... it! Another project. Lol.

That's a 24" 1953 Hawthorne. Rear stays are bent and one side caved in on the inside lower stays. The center bar has been booger welded back onto the post tube. Bothe the seatpost and stem are rusted in place and forks are bent a bit back. I'm keeping the fenders, crank and both hubs. A.thirs of...
