Title: hawk f24
Post by: rakas17 on November 22, 2006, 01:28 PM

word up homies,  well i was after some sort of cruiser for a project and a friend of mine said he knew of this for sale. turned up today from the most genuine dude ever. he sent me the f+f and said if i like it then send him some money and if not send it back. plus he only wanted 60 quid + postage which i thought was a bargain...
 
it looks amazing, proper 1 of a kind, check out the rear brake mounts and the double fork drop outs. i think i might try and make bars myself out of some square and round bits of steel so it matches the rest. the stem and brake lever  i was gonna cnc from scratch. think it will be quite a good project for me to keep me busy for a while.

 it looks like the headtube is slightly flared, does anyone know what i can do about it. if i repaint it will the paint come off again on this spot?..

 if anyone knows anything about or has any pics of these it would be appreciated....

   cheers fellas,   joe
