Anyone know about Hawthorne's?

[user 13947]

Possibly purchasing this bike. Is this collectible? Rare? Thanks...

Hawthorne's were sold by Montgomery Wards, don't pay too much.

Yeah, not too valuable being a '60s middleweight. If you like it and the price is right, though!

I think I'll pass based on the comments. This is the reason why I joined ratrods. God, I love this site...!! Thank you fellas...!!!

unless its all original, i wouldn't pay over 100. Cool frames on those, though.

I got him down to $20. But, it's an hour away. Is this worth it?

 

[ndaway]

I would get it for 20 bucks its great even for parts its worth it

 

[deorman]

Depends on what you're driving. :lol: I'd jump on it.

 

[Outlaw90]

dude id jump on it man. those double top bar frames are sweet. my neighbor has one that is really clean.

 

[olschbp]

what you waiting for? for $20, I would have already turned the key and been there, it is 60"s middleweight, I have one, and won't sell it

A great deal for $20 indeed! Probably a hp snyder built Hawthorne, but its kinda hard to tell from the shadowing in the picture. Got me a 64' step-thru (girls bike) that i redid for me wife a few years ago. Hope you got it.

It's got a Rollfast chain guard and sprocket.

It's got a Rollfast chain guard and sprocket.

Snyder co. built all Rollfasts, and a lot of Hawthornes. This looks like a late 60s-early 70s. -Adam
