I'm completely new to the Bike Building scene. I picked up an old Hawthorne since I've wanted to get into bikes and it gives me something to play with when my VW its frustrating me. I then named it "Tet" which is short for Tetanus, since its more rust than bicycle :lol:
Here's how It arrived.
Since then i've tweaked some things. I got the chainguard out getting pinstriped, I flipped the handlebars(not sure if i'm gonna keep it this way), and chopped the seat down by 2 inches. Now i'm having trouble getting the chain properly tight. Gonna work on it tomorrow on my day off.
I then added white walls and now i'm working on little things
The plan for this bike is to ride around casually, take it with me to car shows, and such other things.
