Colorflow I put together for my dad. The headbadge has since been reinstalled.

Not sure what to do with this one, talked it down off a guys barn wall for $35.

HELP... I have no idea what year these might have been. I have two identical Higgins frames as pictured below
One has a head badge with sears canada on it (I'll take a pic of it soon and post it here)

This is my wife's bike.

It isn't custom or ratty but it was reasonably priced and good shape. I put the repop rack on it to balance it a bit. I tried to insulate the fenders too so they wouldn't rattle. I found out Bontrager H2 26x1.50 are exactly the same width as the 26X1.75 that were on it. They fit really well under the fenders. I went through the BB and I'll go through the hub this summer. I love the twin top tubes. A bit heavy for her but it has the classic look. Maybe I'll re-gear it easier.

I sure like the bikes in this thread.

My mysterious Higgins. I didn't build it, I acquired it a few years ago and finally got it assembled. I'm guessing a hot rod project. The seller claimed an original model, but I'm not thinking so......Anybody want to venture opinions, feel free.

Here's my 46 or 47 Murray built. Most likely a Higgins, but missing the original badge. Someone put a Hawthorne badge on there at some point in the past.

Now it's a complete mix of old and new parts.

found at a garage sale.

I really like this bike with the fenders wraping around low like that.
That I could ride all day long.
