HAWK CLASSIC BIKES

[Rat Rod]

Stopped by a shop today near me that carries Hawk Classic Bikes from Berlin.

He said that he was the only vendor in the U.S. carrying these bikes right now.

They have a hefty price tag ($800 - $1200), but the quality and styling is awesome.

They all come with SRAM rear hubs which are some seriously sweet internal hubs.

The frame design is perfect for motor conversions too.

Those are nice. Might give Felt a run for the money. I like the shaft drive bike, its obvious the are modifying a steel rigid fork up front and it looks great. Hmmm, i can do that!

 

[jtdaddy]

I like em. Can't afford them but like em.

I am diggin the last bike with 700c wheels. Cool cafe style bike.

first frame looks like they got their styling cues from felt...
second frame kinda looks like they use a small muffler on the top tube(dont get me wrong i like it but thats what pops into my brain).....

hmmmmmmmm........

Pretty neat combo of vintage style and modern technology! But, just like Pashleys, too rich for my po' butt! Good eye candy though! :lol: ~Adam

I REALLY like the styling of those bikes, I have to agree, the last "cafe style" one is my favorite

I assume this was Fleetwood's place (KitKat's). I've drooled over those bikes several times when I've been there to pick up parts for my own projects

Those bikes are beautiful... but I could probably build one like the cafe racer (even with the 8-speed hub) for less than half the cost. Not gonna lie though, they're gorgeous.

 

[Rat Rod]

They're even better looking in person.

Definite German quality.

Agreed, Steve. Did you notice the offset bottom bracket for chain tensioning? And they sell the 700C version with a Rholoff 14-speed rear hub. That's just sick. But this is the kind of look I'm going to go for when I build my own boardtracker someday...

 

[Rat Rod]

He had this exact bike in stock minus the headlight and fenders for $1050 I think.

Would be scared to know what the shaft driven bike would be priced at. :shock:

 

[FunkyStickman]

This is from the 14-speed AvantGarde... look closely at the vertical dropouts, and the offset BB

 

[FunkyStickman]

And for the record, the 14-speed lists for 2,290 Euros, which comes to $3260. About $1500 of that is just the rear hub. :shock:

 

[Rat Rod]

Just give Fleetwood a call and tell him you saw it on the forum and Steve sent you. :wink:

how does this one work???

 

[Rat Rod]

It's shaft driven....no chain...just gears and a shaft.
