Need some help

[ThirdCoast]

I have a cranbrook that I'm going to use as the family cruiser and strap a infant seat on it. So my question is about a second bike. I found another cranbrook with a bent springer and apes for 150 that I can get ASAP and I found a 51 Higgins that has an army theme with a rear basket with some army items strapped to it for 125 but I have to wait till the end of the month as its out of town. Thoughts ????

150 for a cranbrook is too much, I don't care what kind of fork is on it.

I would definitely pick the higgins as long as the frame is straight.

Brand new Cranbrooks are under $100 at WalMart (at least here in FL) I'd opt for the Higgins and re-do it in more of my own style.

just my oppion, but if I had a child I would put that child in a trailer, not in a bike seat on my bike. the child will have more room to sleep and whatever else they do. just too dangerous on a bike. always makes be shiver when I see it. just my 1c worth. I too would buy the other bike and not the cranbrook. just another oppion FWIW.

I was leaning towards the higgins, just hate waiting.

Here is a pic of it

Bike recently assembled so bearings, wheels, tires all fresh and ready for milage! tool kit, canteen, medical kit, ammo pouch all gov. issue, the racks hold a 12 pack nicely! "
