My first ever road bike was a JC Higgins that I mowed lawns for money to buy from a neighbor. My dad eventually rode it after I got a Centurion LeMans RS I found on sale. I remember it said, on the seat tube, "Designed in USA...made in Japan". Before that, there was my Root Beer-colored Motobecane Mirage. Weighed a ton, but I rode that bike daily to college. One day, when I was moving from one apartment to another across town, it got ripped off. Some scumbag out there is probably still riding it. Jeff N.
