Brand new Higgins color flow

Postby rustymotors on Fri May 04, 2012 7:47 am

Ok I had to share. I picked this bike up last weekend. This is an original paint bike. It looks brand new. It has no wear. It is the single nicest original paint balloon tire bike I have ever seen.

I concur :shock: The seat doesn't even look like a bum has graced it.

The automobile style emblem on the rack makes it a '50 or '51, I believe.
It'll rub out.

Wow That bike is out standing !What is the story behind why that bike was never used & stored so great ?
I had girls Colorflow that had nice parts (Not as nice as yours ) but my frame paint wasnt great.
So I made this ...

Well there isn't realy a story. I bought it at ML. I saw a guy rolling it through the parking lot asked him how much and when he told me I could not get the money out of my pocket fast enough. :mrgreen:

That's Pinkerton's. An old security firm.

Rusty, you need to give that bike it's own bedroom in your house. :P Take it to every swap meet you can. You'll get best in show every time. Congrats on the find of the year. Gary
