i was debating about entering (for the first time) due to my tight time schedual, bu the next build on my docket is my wife's hawthorne, and i really need to get crackin on it, so here i go...
picked this up as a "barn find" last winter, and she's ready to be transformed.
started tearing her down today, and im gonna start sanding her down over the next week. got a broken chainguard bracket to fix, but thats about the worse of it. havent figured if im gonna use the existing wheels, or a pair of chrome ones off my 93 westport with whitewalls. got fenders from the westport too, if thats the way i wanna go with it.
she says she wants a "sparkly, metalic" paintjob. thinking a metalic silver would look good.
just in it to get my feet wet this year and allready lookin to next year with a 52' schwinn a friend in washington is gonna send me down later this summer. for now, i thought a "girl's" bike would be a great way to start and i hope my wife will love it once im done.
