Thank you and I hope it turns out good. The beehive needs the brackets and the Monark needs a spring post welded, the steering tube threaded further and also straightened. Lots of work for either to be used. ✌🏻

Thank you for the great ideas. I’m right at 200 lbs and wondered how this fork would react to heavier weight. I’m not as tall as you though. ✌🏻

😎 I’m curious now to know how I would go about doing that. 🤔

The Monark Silver King springer really needs some work, especially with one of the shock studs that is loose. It definitely needs welded. I have this JC Higgins Beehive Springer that is my backup. I’m undecided on the final way to go.

The holes on this Hawthorne are in the sides, though they are not even. The WH badge looks as if it should fit but doesn’t line up well. Your wealth of knowledge kills me. Thank you.

I bought a Rollfast badge and a Wards Hawthorn badge but not sure if either would be correct.

I really dig your 42. I would like to find the serial numbers on this bike but I would have to remove quite a bit of paint to get to it. I think it’s a Wards Hawthorne. My drop outs are different than yours and I believe to be prewar. Let me know what you think. ✌🏻

Thank you! Some challenges ahead but I’m working things out slowly. The fork needs a bit of work such as being threaded further to accommodate my frame and it may need some welds to the spring mounts. Working out a tank design this weekend. ✌🏻

Putting a few parts together.

I’m going to try to match some of what is going on with the fork and frame as in “patina”with some accessory painting. @OddJob has the patina game on lock. Aka Colonel Mustard

Very cool! I wish I had the skip tooth items. I do have a heart chainring let’s keep talking about those items. It would be late in the build but might be something I need. I’ll keep in touch. 👍🏼 I wish I could be in Hawaii then.

Hey all! Nice to see a good crowd of builders this year! I needed a project. Looks like some good competition with this style of frame this year. I had a DNF in the previous MBBO, so hopefully I can hit this deadline. This men’s Hawthorne bicycle is what I will start with, along with the Monark...

What a beauty. And a fantastic head badge. 👌🏻

Nice SA 3 speed on this one.

Thank you for more words of nonsense. Quite the ramble. I guess not everyone understands how forums work. And you mentioned an apology was due. Where? i don’t see it. 🤔
