Wow! looks a lot like my Rollfast frame I found at Ann Arbor swap.
Love the springer! Please keep me in mind if you want to sell the fork!

Welcome to RRB and BOTEN.
That was a steal on that Hawthorne.
Love the springer on that. It's the same that I used on Flex-Liner 7 in BO7.
HAVE FUN!

The removal of the neck/stem was proving to be impossible.
I prefer triflo but it was all I had ok
Who am I kidding nothing's impossible.Off with her head!
I love WD40, saved me a lot of effort the other day pulling a 40 year old diff out of a Toyota!
Do you think you can pound the remainder of the stem out from the bottom?

Thanks for the feedback & likes its coming out pretty good so far.
Everything else on the bike came off very easy as rusty as she was.
the neck wouldn't budge even after heating it unfortunately I ended up cutting it

Nice action shot! What's your plan after you get it all apart?
It's so hard to do something different these days.
It seems like It's all been done before so just trying to keep it as ''craspy'' as possible yet still functional.
Traditional rat a bit steam punk maybe?
