.... you guys are getting me motivated to restore more. Awesome work on here. This is a late 50's-early 60's J.C.Higgins Flight liner. I need to locate a headlight for it still and I busted the bearings on the crank today pedaling around. But pretty happy with it.
Next is a 1960 Murray 16".

This is a small build/fix I did recently. A cheap generic cruiser I picked up. Pics are abit poor, it's winter here so gotta keep those babies inside!

It's still waiting on a new crank and stem, and MAYBE a nexus 3speed. We'll see

That is an awesome looking rat right there!! Also, clever way to paint the frame, I will steal that technique thank-you-very-much.
