Amazing!!!!

It is sold!

It’s on eBay right now.....so if anyone is interested shoot me a message!

Thanks so very much!!!! I have a tool box Elgin I need some info on too!!

I bought the bike in pieces and just don’t have the room for it.....and I don’t build bikes....most of the bikes I own came built already.

I have this Elgin that I am putting on eBay and I have a feeling I may be listing it as the wrong year. Can anyone tell what year this would be from? Thanks in advance

Just checking to see if the book is still available?

Thanks Shawn! The guy I got it from thought it was possibly a 37' but was not sure. Now I know!!!! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have seen members eat up someone just asking to get some info on their bike....or showing a picture of their bike. I am not a bike collector....even though I have a few bikes. I just grab bikes and ride them because I like them.......(I won't be riding this one as I would look like a circus...

So......is there is serial number list for Hawthorns? I did a search and have come up with nothing. I know there is one because I found one on here for my 51.....but now it is unfindable? :( I should have saved it.....

Yes....customized!! I absolutely love it!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

....besides....it's just a cheesy cheap metal bike...not even made out of steel... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there somewhere online that one can look at to determine the year of a Montgomery Wards Hawthorn? I am pretty sure it's a 37'...... It would be great to look at a list! :) Thanks!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations on your find!!! I found a Twin a couple of years ago. I am not sure what year it is....but I love it!! Here is a pic as I found it (the front wheel was there....just not in the photo) And a photo after I restored it. Good luck with it!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will take it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the inspirational pics guys.....I did not know about the Mercury's! They are great looking bikes!!

Thanks tryder! I think I fixed the link/attachment! Please look and see what you guys think......perhaps a year and model?

As promised here are the pics.......if anyone has info on this bike (based off the frame) Please let me know!

Great info everyone! And another Elgin has come into my life! As before, complete but entirely in pieces. I will post pics later this evening

I just picked this bike up this past week. It is entirely in pieces but looks complete. It has the handle bars, forks, tires and wheels, rack, seat and kickstand. I think its an Elgin......anyone have thoughts on year make and model? The neck for the handlebars is gorgeous.....I will...

One of my daily riders at the Albuquerque Studios!

I ended up quitting when we did FanBoys here.....got in the film biz and didn't have time for the DRG anymore.

Yeah.....its to bad for sure.....but having a trimmed deluxe guard is better that not having a guard at all! I love your avatar rockabillyjay!!! Star Wars and Johnny Cash.....you can't go wrong!!! I started the local 501st here in Albuquerque!!

Here is mine....I got this Elgin a few weeks ago. I am not sure what year this bike is...... Anyone have an idea?

Very similar!!! Thanks so much guys for the advice!!!! ;)

I so agree.......Just seems like a bunch of odd pieces......but still cool looking! :D

Just picked this up last week at a yard sale.....I have been searching all weekend trying to identify it......I am actually starting to think it is not even a Hiawatha as I can't find anything close to it! It's a skip tooth too.....I thought skip tooths were on earlier bikes..... :confused:

Thanks! I just located one!! I really appreciate everyone helping me on my search for this!!!

The bottom one looks great!!! How much? ;)

Thanks so very much!!!

I am looking for a early 50's Hawthorne chain guard. Anyone have one? :) Here is my bike I need it for: Thanks!!!

Yup....they look totally different.....I have a feeling they (mine) are messed up. I think they should be closed and not open. What a drag....it's off to the scrap heap I guess?

Just a bump here for my previous post on this thread. Thanks!!

So I got a single side of the rocker plates from Frankster (Thanks!)....I am still trying to find someone who can duplicate it.....but I do have a question about the forks pictured here.....shouldn't these be closed and not open the way mine is? How would the axel stay in place? :confused:

So....does anyone make the plates, studs and the hardware for springer forks?

That is a sweet looking ride!!!

Hello again guys! Here is a pic of my front forks and I am being told I need rocker plates......anyone have a pic of these rocker plates......or more importantly.....anyone have them for sale?

I am looking for a light lens for 1951 Montgomery Wards Hawthorne. I picked up this bike a few weeks ago and it's missing the lens. It appears I need a cap that would hold the lens too.....ok....maybe I just need a whole new light! :p

Fantastic info! Thanks!!!

Thanks!!! :D

Thanks for the info!!!

I did a little cleaning today and these numbers became visible....any idea what they mean?

I agree....she is going to have to love it!!!

I just got this Goodyear Wings Reliance bike last week. I got it for my wife as we both decided we wanted to start riding for health and enjoyment. She has not seen or has knowledge of it yet.....I want to try and get it fixed up first. The guy I bought it from told me it was a 1939...

Thanks Frank! I will take em!!!
