Wards Hawthorne with twin top tubes and an odd tank/plate thing

 

[Hooch]

looks like time for a new seat post

These things are popping out of the woodwork lately! There's one in Fresh Finds, and I got mine early this summer. I was bummed the 'tank' is so cheesy, on the ebay pics it looked a little more 3 dimensional!! I'll address that...eventually! -Adam

hes saying it would look like an elgin twin if you did that(right?) cuz it would!

 

[Hooch]

yea I had thought about that the guy I am building it for is 6 foot tall and 250ish so it would be a hard ride

I really like the way the seatpost is laid back! 8) Did you bend that by hand or did you have someone bend it? I would love to build a bike with that look! :mrgreen: Nice job, I can't wait to see what you do next!

Later, HL

Looks great! How did you achieve that sweet antique paint effect? That close up photo of the fender really made me go back and look again.
