Rare ?? Do tell .

I feel like I’ve seen those wheels before and they are homemade I think. I could be wrong but I think I might be right.

Cool kickstand though

Those are the correct manufactured wheels.

Not really a rare bike though. :no:

To address this; objectively speaking in a world filled with Tacos and rupps and the other “common” bikes, Bird as a company goes pretty under the radar. EVOLTweety’s bike is the only other Ive found owned by an active user, and his isn’t a nighthawk, it’s a thunderbird (which I think is probably slightly more common than the hawk just based off of google results). At the moment my listing is the only time I’ve seen a NightHawk on eBay. They’re nice Nebraskan bikes and pretty hard to come by.

Further going on the rarity factor, the only real results I found were some vague Pinterest posts and some ancient OldMiniBikes threads. Note this bike is NOT a thunderbird which I have reason to belive are significantly MORE common than the hawk.

So to clarify, it’s not IMPOSSIBLE to find and they are around, but compared to other bikes they’re pretty uncommon . Plus, you’d ALSO have to find someone willing to sell you one.

The wheels are original (as far as I know at least) to the bike, and while it’s possible they may have been replaced it’s highly unlikely. Also, thanks for the compliment on the stand! Also an original part of the bike.

I stand corrected on the wheels

 

[chipper]

Ok its rare

 

[SimpleTom]

I still wouldn't call them RARE. Uncommon, yes. But no matter. Like I always say, rarity doesn't equal $$$.

 

[piglet]

I have one. Needs some love.

 

[massacre]

Moss only grown on the north side of the seat

Cool bike!

Wow beautiful bike, can’t say I’d want to put my balls too close too that seat tho.

How about I meet u in the middle and say “objectively rare”.

I have a Nighhawk and those are the same wheels on mine. I need the rear wheel only , mine is too bent to use. Have mine completely apart stripping the frame now.

Would you sell the original rear wheel ? Plus is it in pretty good shape, don't care about rust just as long as it isn't bent.
