Higgins Flightliner restoration
#eBayPartner Most Recent BUY IT NOW Items Listed on eBay
I found this one a few years ago on eBay. It has the 2-speed hub which is a nice bonus. After I took off some aftermarket junk a good clean-up brought it back pretty well. I went through it and cleaned & repacked the hubs, etc but the chain is original. After a few miles I did have to replace the sportier original pedals with some temporary but sturdy black rubber types 'till I come across the proper replacements. - Randy

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I believe the higgins flightliner were the best looking middleweight bicycle ever made,They are all something to be proud of.
I have to agree, Gene. I had my share of Western Flyers and other sporty-red models that were so hot in the 60s, but I never forgot that Flightliner. Decades later, I never thought I'd see another one ...but then along comes the internet and the rest is history.
