AlumiNaughty: 1935 Wards Hawthorne Duralium, Finished!

[Machine Age Victim]

This is a 1935 Wards Hathorne Duralium "Window lug" frame.

I have a few ideas kicking around, so we'll see which direction it takes, but here's the beginning.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Wow! Cool frame, never seen one before...

 

[RustyGold]

Love SKs

 

[macncheese]

Ahh, the rare Nerf edition. I like it!

 

[OddJob]

Super cool frame, new on me too. RaT oN~!

 

[Uncle Shish]

Cool frame! Looks very heavy duty and industrial.

 

[Machine Age Victim]

Going through my parts and tossing around some ideas

 

[macncheese]

Those TA cranks are rad! Does this frame have a provision for a seatpost clamp? The one I had needed one of the internal wedge ones (like a stem).

 

[OddJob]

This is gonna be good....

 

[G-Matt]

Yes, it has a traditional clamp, although it currently has a crack in the sleeve.

So cool...

Those windows make it sweeter than my Silver King. Looking forward to this.

In Poland we tend to refer to Aluminium as "Amelinium" from a stupid movie where a drunk farmer was trying to explain why you cannot paint it, and that it needs a special paint.

Also a friend a of mine tends to call it "Anomalium" from the word anomaly.

Great name, thank you for the suggestion!
