Beautiful!

Any idea the years this particular saddle was produced? I got it for $5 at a yard sale and love it.

Got 'er out yesterday for the first time this year. Installed an old leather Trox Saddle

Love the leather! What frame is it? Tell us about it

Thanks! So JCH bikes were built by Ross?

We had a party line until 1980!! I can still remember how happy my family was to get a "private line" lol

More piddling

The evolution continues with this old tank from a girl's bike I found yesterday. A forum member said it's probably JC Higgins. Trying to decide whether to paint the tank or leave it as is

Paint it black or leave it as is? It sticks out like a sore thumb in it's original color but while painting would blend it I think it might also take away from it a bit. Thoughts?

Yes V in a circle and it appears a small v inside the larger V

Not far at all! I spent my teen years hanging around Camelot Music in Gadsden Mall hoping to take someone who looked like Debbie Gibson home with me :) .....never happened.

I sure am.
