I think that Hawthorne looks great. I love the red rims and the laid back seat post. What type of paint did you use on the seat post??
I'm customizing an old CWC frame that I have, trying to get it done before the end of november and I'm considering painting all the chrome parts a copper color, but I worry with those parts being heavily exposed to the wear and tear, that the paint may chip off. With that seat post, I imagine you might have the same problem, so any help you might offer me would be fantastic.

thanks and your hawthorne looks amazing!!!!

Actually, that seat post is bare metal. I thought it would go well with the bare metal tank and seat. It even has some color distortion still from bending it.

I usually would hire somebody to stand there and hold it for me. I have Willy Wonka in the shop holding it up right now. He works cheap!
