His -N- Hers Hawthorne

[Keoki_D]

So i finished my wifeys Hawthorne just in time for Valentines Day and she loves it! Now if it would just stop raining here we could go for a ride! But it's still nice to just stare at while waiting for some sun! I am thinking about changing one of the colors though.......any color scheme suggestions? AND i'm thinking about putting the blackwall tires back on my bike. it looks better than the cream ones......

See how the truss rods are holding on the wheel! It works for me....!

is the fork openings too small for the wheel axle?

Very Nice ! ! ! Where did you get those monster tires on the boys bike?

no, it's not too small i'm thinking those are 24" forks because my from wheel is 26". we had to grind down the axle a bit to get it in the truss rod. kinda strange.

well when i traded with MikeS i kept the wheel set from my old Felt V12. its a 26" front and a 24" rear. it had the black wall quick brick up front and a cream thick brick on the rear. i ordered a the cream tires from felt. Still to come will be a skip tooth sweetheart for my bike and maybe a profile imperial sprocket for hers. IDK.
