Building up a CWC frame

[Durango John]

Could have been many different badges besides RM & Hawthorn, including Western Flyer and that style fork was used on a lot of models.

I might just fix it up and leave it unbadged!

Not the same frame as yours, but had fun scrounging and rusting the separate parts and piecing this one together. Started with only a frame.

Looks really great!

Hey John @Rattman13 has a few of the CWC chainrings that you're looking for just not sure about the tooth count. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Thanks, Sean! I just found one in my stack of chainrings, but I might reach out to him if I need anything else. Wishing you a great 2024!!

The earlier double bar frame 35-37ish the gap between the double bars is narrower and no tank was made. Later double bars have the wide spacing like yours, and a tank was made but it is as others say very scarce

I've seen the tank version badged Roadmaster, Aero King, Western Flyer, and Hawthorne. Firestone sold the frame style at least badged as a Fleetwood although I'm not sure they optioned the tank. There are undoubtedly a few other badged variations.

Thanks for your advice. From the serial number I believe that it is a l late '38 or a '39.

Finished building up my CWC frame. Maybe not totally accurate but going for the patina look that I like.
