1970 Raleigh

(Click for full photo)

1970 Raleigh When we moved to a new home the former owner of the house left a piece of junk in our backyard. It is an old Raleigh bicycle with the license plate dated 1979-1980. I am not sure the real make and model for this bicycle. I am planning to do some restorations and I need your comments on this. I think this bicycle is good for photography as props and for classic films.

(Note the front dynohub, locking fork and butterfly kickstand [ed.])

1931 - 1940 Hawthorne

(Click for full photo)

1931 - 1940 Hawthorne I just purchased this Hawthorne bike. It has a badge on the front that says Hawthorne at the top and Montgomery Ward on the Bottom. In the middle of that writing there is a crest with an 'M' and a 'W' diagonally positioned and Corwns with a lightining bolt through them also diagonally positioned. Someone painted the whole bike and badge red and it I see dark green paint under the chips. The handle bars say Western Flyer. If anyone knows anything about the year or what is missing I would love to know.
