And there is one more box of chains, hubs, axles, bearings, and ??? Everything is in a separate envelope. There are many more skiptooth chains and some look like they are in factory packaging

I have the handlebars in my parts inventory now need to properly put everything away. This was the score of a lifetime for me except......there is that one big money bike still there. Im going back for it when I save up a fortune for it

Ok. Now comment

The higgins pedals might be a childs pedal. They are very narrow. Too small for my feet

Yeah, Im pretty stoked about it. Parts galore. I have only found one thing here and there. To get a collection like this will keep me busy for a long time.

I love that Rollfast frame. Perfect for a road bike conversion, time trials speed bike.

That's what most folks would do! I'd be tempted to put the 3 speed drivetrain from that Higgins on it... I like 3 speeds. Don't mess with the Fleetwood tho, that bike is awesome as is!

I have a thing for 3 speeds as well. Some day I will rebuild my chrome 66 Raleigh dealer display bike. The Higgins is too nice and too original to part out. I have wanted a nice austrian sears bike for a long time, this just happens to be a step above that.
