Monark Built TANKLESS 5bar thread(Hawthorne Twin)

[Freqman1]

If anybody has one of these 9-hole racks in original blue paint, I'd be an interested buyer. All my searching suggests the same carrier was used on the Snyder 5-bars as well and I have me one.

I believe I have a blue one on one of my Five Bar projects but I would need a trade for the exact same rack. V/r Shawn

Thanks Shawn; I'll keep that in mind while searching.

Guess I should bump this thread up with a few pics of my girl's '39 Monark 4bar. Equipped with the one-year only "pencil" springer. In all original paint with a few parts rechromed. Made the perfect Xmas gift.

Hawthorne 5 Bar

I think I am on the correct thread now. This is my Hawthorne 5 bar that I picked up at the local Flea for $125. The paint was shot and it had a vintage set of highrise bars. I replicated the origional paint scheme and color. My 5 bar has the down tubes attach to the bottom bracket in a conventional manner. All the 5 bars I have seen have the bottom bracket with the frame looped under it.

You're on the right thread. Great build on your bike! Most of these are the Monark built frames that have the down tubes wrap under the BB. Your's must be Snyder or CWC built with the down tubes welded into the BB.

Bumping this up since there seems to be new interest in these awesome bikes! Remember, this thread is focused on MONARK built TANKLESS 5 Bars(Hawthorne Twin Bars)

Hey mike, can you snap a pic of the front mount of the Chainguard and how it mounts to the twin bars please?

Will do. I'll get some later today...
