Picked up this baddy a few weeks ago. Not sure of the year because I've been too busy tinkering with it to bother trying to find info on it haha.

This is where I'm at with it so far. Still needs a chain and the front fork is...
I love the sprocket. It cleaned up quite nicely after I plopped it into the ultra-sonic cleaner at my old job. It's a three piece with loose ball bearings. It was a pain getting it back together without losing any balls.
I love finding roadside trash night treasures! :D
Woah! That's a lot of bikes! I was selling the bike minus tank and rear rack. My girlfriend saw it in the garage today and has since claimed it lol. No worries, it's pretty awesome that she also loves old bikes. She just hates when I spend a bunch of money on them haha. So I'll probably spend...
I found this old Austrian Higgins when I was working in NJ. I was on my way to work one night and saw a bike in a pile of trash. Of course I had to stop and save it.

I agree with you 100%. Sadly I have no use for a 24" bike. If I had a mini-me it would be a totally different ball game. I'd trick it out all sorts of awesome then.

Snagged this 24" Murray Missile today. I plan on parting it out in the next few weeks so for anyone that lives in the Allentown, PA area or nearby, keep your eyes peeled.
