Description

Original 1940s (PRE WAR)antique Hawthorne balloon tire cruiser bike with classic 26” fat tires and beautiful natural patina. This bike has the perfect rat rod / barn-find look that vintage bike collectors and builders love. The headbadge reads Hawthorne, the bicycle brand sold by Montgomery Ward in the 1930s–1950s. These classic American balloon-tire cruisers were built with heavy steel frames and are known for their durability and vintage style. Hawthorne bikes are popular with collectors, restorers, and rat-rod builders because of their history and unique patina. Heavy steel frame with the iconic oversized 26” balloon tires that made 1940s cruisers famous. The aged patina gives it tons of character and makes it great for: • Rat rod bike builds • Vintage bicycle collectors • Beach cruiser riders • Garage or shop décor • Restoration projects The tires are currently flat and will likely need to be replaced, but the bike has great vintage character and is a solid candidate for restoration or a rat-rod style build. Hard to find original antique balloon tire bikes like this anymore. Sold as-is due to age. 💰 $300 💵 Cash – in-person pickup Vintage balloon tire bikes like this don’t come up often — first serious buyer takes it.
