1950 Hawthorne Triple Bar

I have some work to do on mines but you have the original 3 speed hub and chainguard. Very nice

Here's a better picture of the bike, albeit prior to the surgery. Hoping to go see it tonight.

That's the original light. It should have a ribbed ring and a fin. The lens has an 'eyebrow' that is tinted green. The rest of the lens is clear. Same as this light, but the bullet would be 'Snyder green' like the color of the bike.

Got the bike. More to come.

Awesome! Welcome to the club. Did they re-braze the bars onto the frame?

@soddruntlestuntle Also, that is an extremely rare paint color. Please leave it intact. I only say this because some people want to 'restore' them, but it ruins the value as well as eliminates an already rare survivor.

Yep. I’ll post more pix tomorrow when I have time.

No, this color stays, I like patina.

Here are a couple additional pics of mine.

This a pretty rare seat that I had before aquiring my triple bar, but thought it a worthy addition. Your seat looks very similar, if not the same. Would need more pics, but if it is the same, they have a wicked cool crashbar.

They did a good-looking job re-brazing the frame, nice save on that one!
