Non-monark Built Hawthorne Twin Bars (snyder/cwc Built)

[fordmike65]

Hey there everyone. Awesome 5 bars! I just aquired this one, and am pretty ignorant to anything about it. I would love to know anything you all could provide me. I love it now (but wife is starting to pull the "too many bikes" card) so I may have to take it to the spring swap meet in Ann Arbor and let it go. If it does come to that, what should I expect to get for it (in the condition its in, or maybe after a little tlc such as tires and cleaned up a bit?). Thanks all!

Looks like a CWC built Hawthorne Twin Bar. Not too many of those around from what I've seen. Looking for one myself, tho in a bit better shape. Great find!

Great. Another one added to my list of wants.

I will have this one at the memory lane swap meet tomorrow! I found it in Michigan earlier this year, and got it rolling and riding. I do not know the year, but I believe it is a CWC based on some other Caber's reviews. What do you all think? Cheers!

Nice bike, agree CWC.

Here is one I am putting the finishing touches on. It's a Snyder built. Went out side just now and took some photos of it.
Only this one turned out good. Plan to ride this bike a lot this summer.View attachment 312367

So a Snyder built HTB popped up recently & should be home pretty soon. it's a bit rough & needs a few parts including a matching paint rear carrier & Delta Hex fenderlight (Yeah, right...). Coolest detail I've noticed so far is that the background of the Hawthorne badge coordinates with the red. Weird, cuz my blue bike has a blue background. Hmmm.....

I have the light in the color you need. https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/pre-war-fat-hex-front-loader-light-horn-combo.149503/

So it's about time I post the newest HTB in my stable to this thread. This 95% complete survivor came out of Minnesota last year. I almost lost it, but fate and help from a couple of Cabe members put this Bad-Boy in my hands. Just to clarify, this is not the same red HTB I posted above. Same color & model tho.

When a picker in MN posted a picture of this bike, it instantly caught my eye. I have a thing for weird frames, and these Hawthorne Twin Bars do not disappoint. He was fishing for offers and info, so of course I helped with both. After sharing pics and details about his new find, I found out my...
