It's a Hawthorne Duralium frame, made by Monark, and it's aluminum . Does anybody know how to date these? The serial number is 13613. I'm thinking this would be great in the rat rod build-off 8) .

I know you don't want to sell it, but if you did, how much would you want for it?

i love nothing more than polished aluminum... well almost nothing. break out the 2000 grit and the jeweler's rouge.

My local bike shop has both a 26" girls and boys bike. Complete. Very cool bikes.

I'll get around to cleaning it soon, but right now I've got some other projects going on, and we've been having some warmer weather, so I've actually been riding bikes instead of just working on them :roll: . These bikes are really cool when they are complete. Right now their is a toolbox seat on eBay for it, but its probably going to be expensive :shock: . I think that this frame will be pretty awesome to use for a board track style rat bike for the build off that is coming 8) .
