HIGGINS ULTRALITE 23 1/2in (ctt) FRAME 22 1/2 in (ctc) fine bronze welded (fillet brazed). Nervex fork crown, Campag ends but no gear hanger. Frame number A28 indicates that it dates from January 1965. Needs repaint; transfers are available. Fred Higgins set up his frame building business in 1935 and was best known for his trikes and trike axles. Unlike many framebuilders he had an engineering background and unusually he built jigs for every part of the frame building operation. This was one of the last frames to be made by Higgins. Lovely brass head badge. I can arrange for frame enamelling at any one of three British frame enamellers for the buyer. REDUCED PRICE $165
