    Well, I know it's red, but...

    I dragged this home from a yard sale last week, just 'cause I like the way the frame is made. I suspect is is not very old, and certainly in it's current condition, not very valuable, but... I like it anyway, so now it's hanging from my rafters. Can anyone fill me in on who might have made it...

    What am I riding here ?

    That's me, in the white shirt and with the really short legs ! My parents bought me this bike new in the summer of 1959. It's the only new bike I've ever had and now, of course, it's long gone. Can anyone tell me what it is, and is there any chance I might find one like it still surviving ...

    Is it spring yet ?

    So... I'm pretending it's spring here. This afternoon I finished putting my Jetflow back together, and finally have it rideable. Thanks to the man who sold me a used crank at Monson, Thanks to the member here who posts all the rear hub rebuilds, etc. etc. Now, how about some warmer weather !!

    Crank Bearing ( Bushing ) ?

    I recently bought a J.C. Higgins JetFlow. It's the first bike I've bought in 50 years. It's pretty rough, but my plan is to get it rideable by springtime. The rear wheel turned, but barely, so last night I took the hub apart and cleaned and regreased it, and reinstalled it. As I was doing...
