pretty excited I found this forum and website. Always been a bike lover, raced BMX when I was a kid and now I just love to ride everything from time trial bikes, fixies to my cruiser.
Currently in the process of restoring (my first attempt at restoration ever) of my 1954 Ward Hawthorne. To start I'd like to confirm the year and model, but I can't find an easy website for this...see attached. Also I'm not sure about to to best attack the process of removing all the old paint? Thoughts/ideas for either?
