Not exactly sure what I am going to do with this or even if I will get it completed in time but here's what I have so far.

Its a Wards Hawthorne aluminum frame from 1935.

Mead Aristocrat saddle

Spring fork that I may use if I dont use the original

a 1935 alum frame, bet thats worth some bucks. this might be one you should think about restoring.
pretty space aged for the time.

as much as i'd love to see that springer fork on there, perhaps the original is a better choice. too cool.

btw is this a 20" frame? looks small.

 

[isutriguy]

its a 24" frame

to restore this bike to original would be way too expensive, and very difficult to even find the parts. Which is why its going to in this build off. I was also conisdering my late 30's schwinn paramount track bike that is complete and original minus one of the wooden rimmed wheels. It is going to be a restoration project. It is one of the original schwinn 6-day race team bikes, one of maybe 12 made for the team.
