I had got this 24" Hawthorne a while back, not knowing what to do with it, but the price was right-free. Recently I had been following a build on another site where the member was building a 24" Schwinn Scrambler replica and it inspired me to do something with this one.
I've liked the look of the 70's MX bikes, like the Huffy Thunder Road (Oh-oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road!),
so I took cues from those to build a 24" MX. I picked up some new stuff, some new old stuff, and used stuff for the build.
The seat didn't come with the sissybar/strut, so I'll have to fab one myself. Other than that, hopefully just paint and clean up of the other parts.
