Yeah - I dug through it all and just keep finding contradicting info. Was hoping that someone here is a Hawthorne expert, as I am NOT. :(

I have a '33 that I'm restoring and desperately need all the steering linkage (not the fork), front eccentric bottom bracket, sprocket and arms. Interested in selling just those? I also replied on the CABE page.

UGH... thanks a LOT for the help.... I can't believe that I left myself open for that... lol

By the way - It has New Departure hubs front and rear (the rear is a Model D with a chrome arm with "New Departure Brake" lettering), A front light (the one pictured is not original), horn and battery pack in the tank with a (rare?) stop light brake light rack.

Just picked this up last weekend. Looks to be all there, but I'm having a super hard time finding the model, manufacturer and dating it. Any help / thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

SOUP FTW!

Got tiny bit done today, hopefully the weekend will bring more progress! Decided to go with a drum brake for the front to help with the stopping efforts. Will post pics as soon as the forum lets me :) Before After - getting there!

Bump to $1200 or interesting trades - let me know!

Could be cool - food for thought :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got the rear fender mocked up and I'm super happy with how it turned out! I went with the braces for 28" wheels so I can mount them over the fender for some added detail. Time to pick out some cool hardware for them! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome - glad to have you in the BO with us!!

Yeah - they are pretty for sure - look even better in person too. Can't wait to get the frame off to paint so I can see how everything looks together!!

This is a truly electrifying build! See what I did there? Seriously though, I LOVE your approach and this bike to death (my favorite so far) Fingers crossed and hoping that Edison seriously considers making a retrofit power kit for vintage bikes. Phenomenal job man! Sent from my iPhone using...

Today was a good day :) I love it when the FedEx guy brings things! Some nice flat fender braces to go with the fenders from Woody's!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup - the original had a two-piece crank and eccentric BB. Those are super hard to find without buying a complete bike. Hopefully this approach will be in concert with the finished bike! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Frame is a 2004 - some components were NOS some were new. I built it up 2006/7 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

NOW $1200 or interesting trades! In order to allow more space (and funds) for the vintage bikes in my life, I am clearing out a few bikes that just don't get ridden as much as they should. The first one I'm listing is a gorgeous Giant DS2 XC that I built from the frame up. It's in near mint...

Got the bearing and SS bolt in today - can't decide if I'll need the arm or if I can get enough adjustment without it.

A little more progress today. Since finding the original eccentric bottom bracket and 2-piece crank are virtually impossible, I have decided to fab up a skip-tooth jockey wheel :) The pictures are from the mock-up phase and look like things should work really nicely! I just need to order the...
