Brought these home and need to stop feeling sorry for everyone i see
The top is a Monark Rocket and actually has the coolest headbadge I have ever seen or owned. My friend had the hawthorne for a while so when i saw the rocket i put the two together in my head. However the rocket has heavyweight fenders and tires and might be used for my build off bike instead. Today i played with the rear fender and wheel and they fit my middleweight Rollfast. So I have some experimenting to do.
Bottom is a before shot of a hawthorne. Before meaning before he took the fork fenders and wheels off. The bike was gold like the rocket and someone spray painted it. I just got the frame chainguard and crankset. My fifth bike from friend Jim. He collects bmx bikes and sometimes brings me a cruiser
