Just a pic of my Hawthorne Comet.....

I have this bicycle for about 20 years now and it was the start of my collection of American ballooners.
It is in original paint, for what I know it is all original, except for the tires.
I could't take a picture outside, cause it is raining here for a week now, typical Dutch weather..........

I bought it from a friend who live in the States,and he shipped the bike in 3 boxes to the Netherlands.
These days a very expensive thing to do, but 20 years ago it was pretty cheap. I also bought a Higgins Jet Flow from him.....

Great bike in its own right. I bet its a real head turner in your part of the word.

My favorite color combo

I have the same color combo. It was my first prewar bicycle and is still my favorite out of my collection
