1950 Hawthorne Triple Bar

[bobbystillz]

Rebuilt the rear hub just in time for St. Patrick's Day! Third bar's a charm...
1950 M/W Hawthorne Triple bar aka 3 bar. These were made from 1950-52 and badged Hawthorne as well as Monark. So far we (the general bike community and 3 bar owners) know of 9, possibly 10 men's triple bars (2 might be the same bike, different owners-can't confirm). One of the ten was stolen in Denver, CO and its whereabout is unknown at this time.

Swapped out the Hawthorne guard (not original to this bike) for a Colson 'Turkey leg'. I think it was red originally, then repainted with a smooth topcoat of green house paint that damn near matches the Snyder green paint perfectly. The broad face really fills the void on this large frame.

Thank you so much! That really means a lot. I get really excited when I am able to make my idea into a reality, and ecstatic when others appreciate the outcome.
