1937 Hawthorne Prewar Eagle Zep Fastback Bike Cwc Schwinn Vintage Elgin Rat Rod

  
1937 HAWTHORNE PREWAR EAGLE ZEP FASTBACK BIKE CWC SCHWINN VINTAGE ELGIN RAT ROD. Here is an original 1930s VINTAGE I was told new in 1937. The serial number is H14544 and is stamped on the cranks housing men's 1930s Hawthorne cruiser bicycle with 26 wheels. (same style has Hiawatha, Eagle etc) This has that cool "Zep" or "Fastback" style frame that people love!

With the insanely high price of gas (and the economy being bad) now is the time to ride a cool vintage bike! Mens prewar non Schwinn bikes are steadily gaining popularity and are hard to find! This is the perfect starting point for an amazing bicycle!

This bike has a cool design mens cruiser style frame, truss rod forks, brass headbadge, newer cruiser style seat, wide cruiser handlebars, unique skiptooth chain and sprockets, full black fenders, rear carrier rack, and more! Has newer grips, pedals, etc. I believe this one originally came with a dropstand kickstand!

(cool and not hard to find) The more you look at the frame design, the more you will love it! This bike has SO MUCH POTENTIAL! These almost never come up for sale and are very unique! Add up the value of the parts! There is much more here than you think and it comes in one complete package!

The tires are 26x2.125. They are newer red balloon tires and do hold air. The bike has vintage raised center rims front and rear with a New Departure rear hub! The bike is an original SINGLE SPEED with coaster brakes. (pedal slightly backwards to stop the bike) DIMENSIONS The stand over height is approx 31.

The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 28. The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 17 1/2. The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 22.

The bike will accommodate most any rider comfortably. NOTED FLAWS I got this one just like you see it.

It would need a total resto for show or enjoy it in its cool "rat rod" type patina! The chrome would need resto to be show quality. (see pics) Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. (most every used bike out there seems to). 2 noteworthy things, the seat post tube was brazed a long time ago.

(see pics) the seat post that is in the bike is not the correct size and only goes in as far as you see. This appears to be a fairly nice original unmolested bicycle unless otherwise noted. A great bike to ride on relaxing days through the park or to the beach. Also would be a nice item to display in a shop, restaurant, rec room, sports bar, etc. Stand out from the crowd and be the envy of people who see you riding by.

People will enjoy seeing you on your vintage bike! A great classic bike at a great price Why not ride a bike?

If you are looking for a fun bike to ride and enjoy this may be it! A nice bike to cruise the beach or your local park! Priced way less than a dime store bike that wont be around 5 years from now, much less 30+ years like this one! Please give this bike a good home and DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Classic bikes are very cool because not everyone on the block has one!

People love to see and talk about and ride these classic bikes! They are more popular now than ever before! This may be a great Birthday or other special holiday gift for someone!

It is never too soon to think ahead and get someone something they may really like!! These are getting to be hard to find in any condition and to my knowledge, have not been reproduced. PLEASE NOTE that many of the bikes I list have listed have been in long term storage and have not been regularly ridden in a while. (not a bad thing) They may need standard tuning, greasing, may have old tires, surface rust etc. I try to be as honest as possible and never want to disappoint anyone. I try to be as honest as I can and disclose anything I know about the bike. I want you to be excited about your new bike and hope you really enjoy your new vintage ride for years to come. We try to package well so the bike arrives to you in the same condition as it left us. Fed Ex just increased the rates. This is a 10+ day service and includes packing.
