Picked up a killer JC Higgins twin tube Flight Liner frame and fork set from good ole fello member dogdart, got it in today, awesome, i've always wanted a twin top tube bike and had seen this one on the sales forum a while back when I didn't have any extra doe, well searched the archives last week and found it and he actually still had it, snagged er up. Threw it together this evening for a surprisingly good riding quick build. Running a 36/16 gearing on it and she rides like butter. Cream wheels and matching cream crank sprocket. :mrgreen:

No, Rollfasts were made by the Snyder co., who also made a lot of Hawthornes. They did have a twin tube frame that was similar, but with different dropouts and rear stays. Only Murray had the pointy dropouts. -Adam
