The 'New' work Steed!

I found this beautiful specimen at the Salvation Army Store this morning, had 'er re-shod and cleaned her up.
She will be my work hauler from here on out. The Higgins is too heavy for practical pulling...

I've got a continental with that same frame size. The only bike I own that truly fits me. I think it's 86" from the BB to seat clamp. :shock: I'm tall and wear pants with a 36" inseam but have to have the seat all the way down to ride it. Now if I could just figure out how to put fat tires, a tank, and a kickback on the thing, it would be all good. :wink: Gary

I would get right on that! Sounds like a fun project...I love the frame size, although technically it's too big for me, but I like being up high in city traffic especially! Thanks! 8)

Nice bike, is that a bike rack on the trailer? I might have to do that to my haul rig!

Still miss my old hauler though

Still got a trailer like this too. (Same style) The black one here I cracked the mag wheel hauling a washing machine, the tire held the rim together long enough to get to the scrapyard though :mrgreen:

and trust me that rated for (insert number) lbs is just a suggestion I've done this more than once :mrgreen:

Yep it's a Thule Rack I found at a Transfer station...

Here is the Higgins in work mode...
