Not only am I amazed at the condition of this bike but that it is still available! An outstanding opportunity for someone to add a gem to their collection. Good luck with the sale Mike and see ya next week at MLC. V/r Shawn

Thanks guys for the nice comments. Thought it would be gone also, but won't bother me to keep it either! Can't wait for ML, will be fun to chat with everyone!

I'd buy if if I hadn't already committed some $$$$ elsewhere and it's too late to cut bait and make room.

Is this beauty still for sale?

 

[marshalmike]

Not sure...will let you know by tomorrow.

 

[marshalmike]

Buyer backed out...so still for sale. Can bring to ML...would consider original B6 part trade...or?

Higgins Manifold Colorflow?

You know what's interesting about this all original bicycle?
The Morrow hub is stamped B1 or first quarter of 1932 and laced in Lobdell side step rims.
The Gillette balloon tires are marked 26 x 2.125 and probably came with the bicycle.
Schwinn invented the balloon tire, releasing in '33, however this particular bicycle was made by WESTFIELD!
Thoughts?

I'm no expert, but that looks like a lot of extra room between the rear fender and the balloon tire. More like the size a 28" wheel would use.
