1939 Hawthorne rat!

[John c]

Hello all from a newbie,
I just wanted to share my new little hobby with all you rat fans. I got this bike off of a huge pile of other old rusty bikes. When I got this bike it was 100% complete but because of my addiction to changing things to the way I like them, I decided to splurge on some new tires which cost more than I spend on my truck tires!,put on a schwinn sweetheart sprocket and rip off the chaingaurd, add some apes and grease every bearing on the bike. Well, this is what I came up with and I have a feeling that I'm far from done! I also have about 3 other bikes that ou might wanna watch for!
Thanks everybody,

John.

thanks,
you know I did! I also got a 1935 Hawthorne that I was trying to sell but nobody is willing to give me what I want for it. Not to mention that I need another Rat project!!! I also took a few old frames "a rollfast and a schwinn which the sweetheart come off!" there are still many more there and I think I'm just gonna offer the guy one price for the whole lot of them just to make him feel appreciated. "which I do totally appreciate him!"
like I said, keep your eye out for more rust from me

Cool, I would definitely offer the guy money for his whole pile :wink:

This is my number one, favorite bike on this whole site. I would leave my Harley at home and ride this thing around town.
