I could use a little help from the experts. Is this a Bird Thunderbird or Nighthawk or? Look how perfect these wheels are!

Beautiful condition, it’s new!

I'm no expert, but I'll give my 2 cents for what it's worth.

I was comparing these two brochures and looking at your bike. The handlebars that are on your bike look like they are Thunderbird style. Your bike is done up well, but missing the parts that differentiate from one to the other. Looks like the fork tube lengths are different between the two also.

Probably don't want to hear this, but those rims have been repainted.

Looks like they were done in rattle can chrome.

Nicely done though .

Oh it doesn’t bother me that they were repainted, just the condition they are in I was happy with

Thanks for posting the pics of the two bikes! Definitely thinking thunderbird, either way I love it
