Bizarro Hiawatha
This one is hanging at the concession stand at Two Rivers State Park. The clerk said it's been hanging there for 20 years, and many people have tried to buy it.
It has a Wards Hiawatha head tube badge. Okay, so far so good.
Single speed coaster brake. Okay.
Just about pretty certain that is not a factory weld.
Dig the Shimano "Touring" derailleur held in place with a U-bolt. And by looking close you'll notice a skip tooth sprocket in front.
Underneath, just in back of the derailleur. I'm thinking that is also not a factory weld.
