Non-monark Built Hawthorne Twin Bars (snyder/cwc Built)

[fordmike65]

Here we can discuss the Snyder & apparently CWC built Hawthorne Twin Bars(HTB). Post pics, lit, projects etc to help us document differences & how to identify these cool & interesting frames


Snyder built frames

News to me is that CWC built their version of this frame as well

A fully loaded CWC built HTB that popped up at this years Memory Lane Swapmeet...Nice!!!

Looks like crankset has been swapped out at one time, but with that 2spd,front brake & that tubular rack I woulda snatched it up in a sec!

Good thread reference as well.
Seems to be Snyder and CWC had something in common thru certain years and models

That's why I find it so weird. The bowed stays and it happens to be equip with a CWC springer also. Just very odd if it truly is a synder

Can we get a close up of the CWC built 5 bar bottom bracket area?

Can we get a close up of the CWC built-in 5 bar bottom bracket area?

See post #2

very easy to identify by the way the twin tubes connect to the bottom bracket too. Snyder go straight in the CWC curve then go in. This is all very interesting. Ya learn something new everyday! Thanks for all the help guys.

Here is one I am putting the finishing touches on. It's a Snyder built. Went out side just now and took some photos of it.
Only this one turned out good. Plan to ride this bike a lot this summer.
