    Got a handful of bikes (some prewar stuff added pg.1)

    Re: Got a handful of bikes yes...I'll concur with Rockit!. As most already know,both Spaceliner & Flightliner were built by Murray for Sears under the JC Higgins banner at pretty much the same time frame...Pappy 8)

    ANOTHER ZEP & FLIGHTLINER

    Had a GREAT weekend after experiencing a "dry spell" of sorts. Found this mostly complete 1937 HP Harris built Zep. Someone had put a mid-weight front wheel and tire on it at some point in time but the weird thing is that there are no holes for a headbadge :shock: ...what gives? Had to make a 3...
