I donated my bike to a kid in town that's around the age of 10...just some random kid that looked like he'd enjoy the bike. My friend that lives by him says he's always on it. I'm glad someone could enjoy it just as much as I did when I was small enough to comfortably ride it lol

Re: 1946 Hawthorne Hub overhaul Updated pics. Also here's the thread to the parts I need to complete this build viewtopic.php?f=34&t=76402

I brought one home last weekend! It's just like CCR's...but had ugly red and white house paint where the green color is. I took care of that

well until one of them says they'd like to fix my fork for under $40 it's staying a wall-hanger :(

Well it's a wall hanger now lol I did what I could and I got the legs pretty close...but I'd rather spend the money and save my time. Not worth the aggravation especially when I'll probably mess them up worse! Thanks for the input

I'm glad you passed the information on! And I'm still just as happy with the bike. It's a beautiful bike and I'm still just as excited to preserve it.

Dave you are correct! The morrow hub has P2 on if which is 1946! Good job thank you for your knowledge

You could be right, that sounds legit. I thought Snyder used a "star" sprocket? I don't know but everything on this bike screams prewar! Peaked fender with an odd looking reflector, skip tooth, Torrington bars, stem, and pedals, coke bottle grips, dog leg crank, Morrow hub. No I'm truly no...

Montgomery Ward's Hawthorne badged. Serial number appears to be 64SN? I've never seen a S/N this short. Any help would be appreciated. One on the right, obviously

Bought this one off of Craigslist for $35! They guy was awesome, we talked for at least 30 minutes. So on and so forth, with a lot of leverage and PB Blaster, I tore down the bike. The bike has a nice rattiness to it, but still has most of the original paint! I plan on using a fine steel wool...

Anyone know about fixing a bent fork? This one I have is pretty bent. I really want to bend it back and keep it since its original to the bike. Should I use a propane torch and heat it up and bend it with an old pipe or something? Would this effect the structural integrity of the fork? I really...

Yeah I don't think I'd drive 3 hours either! It's more like 40 minutes from me 8) definitely worth it

I'm going to see the guy with the Zundapp this coming week! Hopefully I can bring it home with me.

That's what I'm thinking. There's also a prewar Hawthorne for sale by me for $35! It's not rideable, the fork is bent badly and it's crusty but $35! It's a skip tooth, selling the chain will make me break even!

It looks like a 1950 Schwinn Panther....I'm not too sure. It looks to be mostly there too! And I'm thinking that's a cheap "house-paint" type job? Paying $50 in Craigslist! Anyone know what it's worth as is? I'll probably end up selling it on here anyways, either whole or parted.

You really do! I think I can go through any 50cc scooter from the motor to the electrical and know what I'm doing now. I'm looking at a 1970 Zundapp 50cc. German made scooter

I love scooters lol I have a cheap Chinese one right now that's been giving my nothing but problems! So I'm on the search for a vintage one more reliable one. They sure are fun :mrgreen:

Well I'm really happy,I got a vote! :mrgreen: lol

Aha good song, and thank you!
