What do you guys think of this Hawthorne Flyer?

This is almost identical to a project frame I have. I thought 1920s Hawthornes would have ND hubs instead of Morrow though...

Anything that you guys can suggest is most appreciated.
Thanks!

I have a couple frames that are just like that.. As far as I can tell, one is an Elgin, and one is a Shelby. Standard frame with very subtle differences...


Cool bike, they just are not as valuable as the later fat tire bikes!

Thats a real nice bike! I have attached literature for my bike (iver johnson) that gives options for the rear hub (Corbin, Morrow or ND).

You gonna get it?

Its about $600 more than I can afford right now... otherwise that baby'd be coming to me!

To my untrained eye that bike is nearly the same as my Meade Ranger, except mine I believe is newer, 1939-1942. My chain ring is different, but the truss rods appear to be a match.
