Got two green bikes this weekend

[Jimmer]

Hi,
Here's two bikes I found around the neighborhood garage sales this weekend.
Hawthorn I think 1956 with 24" wheels, also have original seat that I'm redoing.

And a 1976 Schwinn Varsity that I'm turning into a single speed like Hooch's Varsity > it has 27"wheels and 19" frame. Would have like a bit bigger frame, but it's still nice.

Life is good!

GREEN Varsity! - the wheels on that 24 look pretty good!

For the Hawthorn, the black balloon wheels are still OK. I might do some cream colored balloons. The Hawthorn is cleaning up really nice for my seven yr old granddaughter to ride when she visits!

I finished rebuilding the Schwinn Varsity this week...I love it! Nice single speed with coaster brake.
