pre-war hawthorne lightweight

[texasbigjon]

ive been wanting to do a diamond frame build for awhile,but no luck coming up with right frame. i ended up winning the frame,fork,and stem all in separate auctions over a 17 hr span,for a total of $21.81! the seller combined the shipping,and it reached my front door for $40.99. i tried doing some research on it and found some old literature showing a 1941 hawthorne litewate,that looks the same. hoping someone more knowledgable can shed some info on this bike! im sending out the phil signal! :lol: :lol:

It's fun to do a diamond frame once in a while, and you got a great deal on some awesome parts! I'm no help in identifying things but I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Why can't I ever find a deal like that?

Really cool starting point.

dude, it was on ebay- 300 million+ people could have potentially found that deal.... :mrgreen:

i was 'watching' the auction but spaced it out......

i'm glad a rrb'er got it at a great price though!
