Higgins Flightliner

Promised myself I wouldn't buy any more light or middle weight girls bikes this year. That being said, I picked this up at a flea market shop this morning. I just couldn't resist when I saw it had a perfect tank light lense. (a first for me)

thanks for lookin,
Jules

Cool, that's a 58-60 with that chainguard. Usually you see teal frames with chrome fenders, that was the one they must have made the most of. ~Adam

Here's one I got for the wife a couple of years ago (free for cleaning a neighbor lady's garage).
Believe it or not she (the wife) actually rides it like this!
It must be one of the more common ones like Adam described (as far as colors go). I think this one is '61-'63, but I'm only guessing.

As far as the catalog illustrations show, that chainguard was only used til 60. Then the smooth Flightliner/Spaceliner style guard shows up. ~Adam
