Thanks, Sam

This is a 35 Hawthorne speed bike... Kinda look the same?

Does look similar so far I've heard Columbia based off the sprocket I've also seen Pierce bikes that are similar.

Do you have a picture of the bottom bracket with the serial number?

Here it is.

 

[Peerlessguy]

Thanks. Can you also send a pic of the dropouts and of the rear fender bridge?

 

[Rotten_Spokes]

Will this work?

 

[Peerlessguy]

Yes. Thank you. What size are the wheels? And I'm not thinking Columbia, because they started stamping serial numbers on the bottom bracket in 1936. I suspect your frame is earlier than that.

It has 26 inch wheels on it.

Ok. I think it's probably early 30s. Without the head badge to know the manufacturer, it's harder to narrow it down to a specific year.

Thanks for your help.

 

[Peerlessguy]

No problem. Sorry I can't narrow it down any further.

Are you interested in selling the bike?

Are you interested in selling the bike?

I'm not interested in selling it right now. I tried emailing the NBHAA to see what they could tell me and they said it was a 1930s Pierce model DBRR.

 

[Peerlessguy]

Ok. I respect that. And that's good you got some info on it. I'm glad you know who made it now!

So am I and thanks again.

You're very welcome.
