    Hawthorne bike info? (CLEANED UP !)

    32.00 ? WOW ... you have good friends ( and good flea markets ). Love those frames, and what I call the 'fish' guard.... have a painted one on a regular skoot type frame, not sure if it was a smoothie or what, been spray bombed,etc...

    Anyone else hit any garage sales today? I did!

    Not many sales yet here in the NY snow :( I'm surprised the stuff you been finding, must be not everyone out there is on the ' ebay can make me rich' phase.. ppl here list it all themselves and no more yard sales.... old historic area, been picked and picked and picked, still lots to be found...

    Muscle bike accessories, post your pictures here.

    Nice.. and very organized, even labels on th eboxes, I could never be that with it, lol I love the green seat with the flowers and blades of grass, but I need the one under for my 67 Ramshorn build :) ? - are the seats on the windowsill NOS ? or repop ? could be the angle, but the first 5-6...

    Stop the hobby. We've reached the climax.

    Looks like one of those synthetic feather dusters... And I'm with eagleye, I'd rather have the van (been on the prowl for one actually ). I had a seat in a lot I bought a few years back was redone in fake fuzzy fur,purple,and the seat mount rewelded way forward, must have been on some sort...

    Do you ever slightly freak out when buying expensive stuff?

    That's one thing seems to have gone waaaay up in price , is old tires, and banana seats. Tire prices seem crazy the last year or so, are they just drying up ? ( figuratively and literaly, lol ) ?

    Let's go back to 1969

    Sadly, no longer have my big pieces of 69 either... parted this one out after a ,umm,mishap... 396/375 hp/TH400/4.10s (11.24@124). Wish I had pics of the 69 Chevelle. 396,350hp,4 speeed,triple black :( Do have THIS 69 still :)

    Rust is the pits

    The mirror looks pretty nice . Will watch for chrome info - I bought one of those small 'brush-plating' sets about a year ago and have yet to even try it out... :( So much to do...

    Rust is the pits

    Lovin it.. and thanks for the shaker info, will have to go price one of those with my 20% off coupons. Of course, now you know we'll be asking about the chrome ... :)

    Rust is the pits

    Great job on the guard stencil, came out spot on. I'd like to hear more about the walnut shells, chain looks great... are you using like a rock tumbler ? or what ? I have a small ultrasonic cleaner I got from a local jeweler that went out of business, neverhave tried it out for nuts/bolts/etc...

    Do you ever slightly freak out when buying expensive stuff?

    piece of art right there..... I did unwrap one of the NOS Kelly Springfield whitewall slicks I got for my Torino 500,but cringed and wrapped it back up, lol...

    Got some headbadge decals made...

    Nice looking decals. Crash - if you can find the sticker Huffy one, you can make a fairly good looking badge by applying to a piece of aluminum (think pop can or thicker if you can find something ), then rivet it one like original. ps: I have rivets if you, or anyone, needs some, had to buy...

    Headset / Bottom Bracket replacements?

    Not going to be much help on the headset. I usually clean and reuse the cups unless really bad, sometimes new bearing fit, sometimes no - the ones on my 68 24" Spyder are screwy diameter, even compared to other murray ( newer ) that I have. Schwinn is the oddball on the BB, that and vintage...

    Is it too early to start thinking about the MBBO?

    great comparison shot of the frames.. will file that away for reference... now you just need a rail frame in there. :) I have a pretty rough 26" frame I have been kicking around cutting down to rail size for a few years, but since I don't have an actual rail frame to compare / measure...

    What/why the difference?

    66 dated bars,sweep down style = 66 fastback only ( 67 fastback AND stingray used those, but not in 66 ),68 bars would have been on ALL stingrays, including fairlady,etc... so much more common ? Unsure otherwise.. I know the early 63-65 bars bring crazy money. That seems a lil high for the 66...

    Is it too early to start thinking about the MBBO?

    I think the long stack with four rows of holes would look good, reminds me of 70s era sidepipes, those are more solid at front, then the baffle / covers section.

    Western Flyer Wheelie Bike

    Glad to see you working on that again ( course if you lost interest the snows gone enough for me to drive up :) Very neat on the serial #, nice low production number. (off topic, but makes me think of my ongoing project 72 Nova.. serial 00005, built June 1971 ) .
