Good Lord man, have you ever been to Arizona?

I couldn't stand the crappy pictures I posted the first time, so I re-took and re-posted most of them... :grin:

MB brings up a good point. If you ever plan to ride more than 2 miles, don't fall for the pedal forward hype. There is a reason this "idea" has not caught on for the first 130 years or so of bicycle design. :)

I would have guessed 55 pounds... :eek: fully equipped with rack, tank, light, & truss rods...

did you stripe it?

Pedestrians may have a right-of-way... but I am thinking that riders on bicycles are not pedestrians, but viewed more as vehicles.

When it exists, it is on the backside of the crown.

Here is a 46 or so Higgins in what I call Bomber style...

I could be wrong, but I think your front fender (braces) came off of a springer fork...

I think Mave Darko is very close, but I would guess 46-48ish on the frame. Look hard at the crown area of the fork as some Huffmans of this era have the year stamped on them.

Bingo. The "cantilever" tubes are purely stylistic and are in no way structurally important to the front triangle. That frame may well break, but it won't be where you are focusing your attention, or as result of that weld.... (in my humble opinion :))

I'm laughing to myself... :D I have been biting my tongue since this thread started because he did say new... :angelic:

I apologize; I came to this thread via a route such that I did not notice the category title... :oops: Good for a laugh anyway, and a bump to the top... ;)

You mean like this one?.... 1940 Colson :)

I have been saying this for a while. If you want to get even more fit, you should tow a trailer filled with rocks behind you... :D

Even ebay seems to have dried up... I have the fewest items on my "watch list" ever!

It certainly was this time... :blackeye:

1940 Shelby-built Hiawatha in weathered-to-brown original finish.

I buy whatever is on the clearance table at Pep Boys. This last tub is a black colored "synthetic" something or other. It has a weird consistency and doesn't really stick where you put it... ? :confused:

Well, if you did, it would probably be a '56... ;)
