The other day I went shopping for a flathead Ford engine for my 35 Carrolet. I bought an engine from an old man who alsao had a very unique bicycle sitting there. After a quick haggle, of course said bicycle returned to my place of leisure. Looking at the bike (it is a beaut, with linkage brakes, etc...) I was looking at the badge on the headstock. After pulling up a little house paint (someone had tried to put the J.C.Higgins arrow on it) I discoveren the bike was made by Honda. Futher research determine that this was a early prototype of the 1947 Honda. Lastly reserch seems to indicate that this is the 6th built, and Mr Honda built this for his bride!!!
