First one looks like a Monark to me. Pretty cool frame....

This same Murray built frame was badged as Higgins, Murray, Western Flyer and Firestone...maybe more! Get tired of your Higgins? Swap out the badge and you have a Western Flyer!

So the P on the serial number should indicate a 1958. Interesting that it is MOT and not MOS tho. My 57 is "MOS N"

Nice! I am using the same frame for BoTen. Mine is a '57 and badged as a Higgins. Looking forward to seeing your build

Not me. I found a cool project at ML on Thursday that Is keeping me busy till BoTEN starts!

you never know!

Memory Lane had nice deals on Higgins beehive springers.... $50-70 depending on the chrome.

Thanks guys....I think it is going to be a stunner with some elbow grease. I'll probably just clean it up and put some nice wheels/tires and make a rider out of it. I think I'm going to swap the fender braces out with some CWC curved braces.

Yeah, so does Chris! Still regret selling it!

Went up to Memory Lane today. Found a beehive for my BoTEN bike. Also found this 26" Western Flyer badged CWC with jet graphics on the tank. Bike was pretty crusty, but I really think most of it is just dirt. The graphics were really dark and dirty. I took a sponge and some soap and water and it...

Nice tires! I have a pair of lightly used Holy Rollers in the shed for BoTen

I'm going to ML on Thursday this year and then AA on Sunday. I have the typical list of hard to find parts and I'll be looking for junk to use in BoTen

A preview.....My favorite color besides flat black? Raw steel..... :cool2:

My Salsa loaded down and doing some gravel touring. I think this was day 3 of the trip. Not really a road bike, but I built this Surly Ogre over the winter for some backwoods bikepacking.

Great...now what do I do with this Montgomery Wards Free Spirit tattoo?????

That is the site. Fantastic information on Columbias. I hadn't seen a girls middleweight until about a year ago so who knows...maybe there was a girls balooner? trying to figure it all out is half the fun. Either way, that frame ended up in good hands

You already have one of my BoTen votes as it sits.... I think one of the users here or on the Cabe has a Columbia website with a ton of good info. I couldn't find his site, but hopefully he'll chime in. If I remember correctly, these integrated frames first started on the Newsboys in 1963. They...

That Newsgirl is pretty sharp! Is it a middleweight? I have a balloner Newsboy and wonder if they ever made a ballooner girls Newsie

I think I have my "BO-X" project picked out, but Memory Lane and Ann Arbor are at the end of April, so there is always the possibility that I'll find something better.

I really wanted to come back down this year, but tomorrow is my wife AND my son's birthday. Just isn't happening this year.
