[Scrapirondesigns]

Just picked this up the other night off craigslist. About to start tearing it all apart to send to powder coat and chrome.

Had a cool little license plate from Berkeley,CA on it from 1955.

Love the bike, love the fork, love the plate, hate that you got it off of CL since all that is listed in my area is Walmart junk.

Been lucky with CL around me just have to be fast tho. Vintage bikes are mostly sold in the first hour of it posting. Unless the guys ridiculous with the price.

Sent a lot of parts to chrome yesterday! Just got done sandblasting the forks and Cleaning them up for Powdercoat.

Re: J.C. Higgins Build

Just ordered some Cream fat franks and a Brooks seat. Going to tear the wheels apart going to powder coat the rims gloss black with cream pinstripe. Not if I'm going to go with chrome new departure or the blackout new departures.

This way

Or this way

Found pics on eBay. What do you guys think? All the chrome on the forks and cranks and everything is going to be redone so what would look good.
