Wards Hawthorne All-American, " Goin' out to Dinner"

[River City Speed]

So, I'm digging this out of the rafters for Bonine.







Factory equipped New Departure DD 2 Speed hub. The only things I'm missing are the tank and the original luggage rack. I need to get it down and let it talk to me for a bit. A build name will come soon.

So, I dug the thing out of the rafters last night! The first pics are from when I picked it up last summer. I think it is going to be my "Goin out to Dinner" bike. I need something as fancy as "My Fair-Lady" (from B08) to ride to dinner with the family. It needs to be pretty, but I can't upstage my wife's bike.

So that you guys know I am not a complete slacker! I've done some work! I blasted the frame and fork components. and cleaned up a few items. The New Departure 2 speed is factory equipment on this particular bike. You can see in the pic the bracket that was welded into the frame to accept the lever. The registration was on the bike when I got it. I presume it to be original to the bike. Just thought that was cool

I like the registration plate. Things like that say history to me.

Good work, Rg

 

[Uncle Fide]

God, looks like a new one now

I have been having some tough conversations with this ol' bike about color.

Nice frame, especially tank mounts!
