The Green Hawthorne

[the tinker]

This bike was another lost cause when I dragged it home. A plane-Jane Hawthorne covered in house paint. I found a tank for it for thirty bucks and this is how it turned out. Today I took the old boy out and it rides nice!

That's Arron above, he hadn't ridden a balloon tire bike since the 60's

Green grips....

End of the road....

Just found a photo of the bike the day I brought the old boy home..... thick blue housepaint! Roadmaster? Now I am wondering if this is the bike?? They all blend into one.....

No, top pics 3 gill (curved bar) and bottom is a straight bar, prewar vs. postwar, skiptooth vs. reg. different fork etc. oh well, I know how they all blend together.

Not the correct photo . The bike was originally red. It hit me tonight. I will find and post it, as I have a photo of it somewhere.
