Too bad Willy is already taken by @Karate Chicken Industries . I did find some cool references about Nathaniel Hawthornes dad, John Hathorne, who was involved in the Salem witch trials as one of the main judges. Nathaniel added the w to his name later so he wouldn't be connected to his dad.

Hi guys! Back again for BO17, had so much fun and inspiration last year i decided to go at it again. It is already so hard to keep up with all the builds that are going on already, so much coolness, man.... Well my starting point is a 1947 CWC Hawthorne that i picked up last fall and it will...

Really nice, subscribed!

Great job on the paint and on the frame!

Great score!

I'm definitly in! Still have to finish my MBBO entry but i guess BO17 goes first.😅 I have lot's of ideas and a great bike for a ratty gender bender so the real question is why wouldn't i haha

Found this old Electra Blossom seat in my parts pile. Decided to spray paint it and see how well it holds Still wet on this photo, when it's dry it should be a satin finish. But since it's almost freezing it could take a while. Will take another pic when it's dry

Do you have a picture?

I like how you're thinking

Removed the front fender and carrier. Replaced the front tire with a Moby bite slick. Replaced the crankbolts and polished the cranks. And yes is replaced the pedals for the ugly plastic ones, but hey, sometimes you gotta do with what you have right? I was having doubt about the chainguard but...

Thanks! Yes a Nexus 3 coaster hub and the frame is the alu version

Cleaned and regreased the hub and bottom bracket, and mounted a new chain. Of course i removed that ugly rear fender since i don't even ride when it rains. Not sure but i also found some pedals that might go on.

So i picked up this Electra Ratrod for , 40 bucks last week. Pretty rough, but good enough for a daily driver. Today i had some free time in between two appointments so i decided to check the bike, give it a clean and make it run a bit better. Took apart the rear hub and the bottom bracket...

Yeah that's also possible but for the looks i would also make another bracket for the top part. Then your fork legs will stay parallel to each other.

Like this

You could make longer pivot arms, and make another bracket at the top so the front fork legs extend further to the front

Can you please call my wife😆

Just picked up this Ratrod for 40 bucks. Alu frame, 3 speed. A bit rough but couldn't let it pass by.. The guy said it was about 7 years old but my guess is it's a 2011 model. Not the original rear fender and the front carrier really has to go😅. A quick lube and a new chain and it will be a...

Yes it is a special size bolt, not sure what it was. Fine threaded M12 or normal M12, if i remember correct.

There is thread in the crank where you can screw a bolt in, then it will come off
