what is it ?

[Schwinnspastic]

my latest find well it really found me for a 20 spot... have no clue what make but it has possibilities

I think I will use the front tire for the roadmaster

I dont know what it is but its cool!!!
20$ .......WOW

 

[necessaryevil]

Kinda looks like my old hawthorne frame.

 

[Tonka]

that's $20 well spent.........

That rack alone is worth a 20 spot. Cold rolled steel route rack usually sold at hardware stores back in the day! :mrgreen:

 

[sensor]

its cool is what it is :mrgreen:

Those curved rear frame stays are the giveaway! It's a Cleveland welding built frame, so it might have been a Roadmaster or Hawthorne, etc. The crank is of course a Murray/JC Higgins, and that's a Wald chainguard. And a really old aftermarket rear rack! Awesome find! ~Adam

 

[Schwinnspastic]

Thanks for the info and comments guys ..so I think its unanimous its cool and here as well as my lbs say its a hawthorne.
I think I would rather be working on this one instead of the roadmaster but maybe I will do both at the same time.
I thinking since it looks like the old paper boy bike I'll stick with that theme " news paper = black and white and read all over :mrgreen:

Definitely a CWC frame...could be a Hiawatha also. Either way you got a great deal...and that rear rack is sweet!

...And a 60's (probably Troxel) middleweight seat. ~Adam

so I couldn't resist taking the bike apart and started striping off the peeling paint seams the last owner did a good job removing the
original paint but a lousy job repainting it. I could not believe how well it came apart ......pb blaster is wonder juice :lol:
the rear wheel is junk and the front has a broken axle but is salvagable and I may have to replace the chain as well otherwise its a solid
frame with very little rust pitting and the seat is a persons it doesn't belong on this bike and will not go back on.

While were here, anyone tell me what I might have ? Skip tooth sprocket and serial numbers on the underside of the crank housing and rear facing drop outs. Thanx for any info !

 

[Schwinnspastic]
