Finally, after joining the forum in September, I take the time to get educated in posting pics and actually post a bike.
The picture isn't the best, but it's a start.
This is the bike that inspired my screen name. A JC Higgins I got at a police auction a few years back, cost.......$1. I have a twin to it that had all the original parts except the front wheel/tire, got that one for $7.
Stem and Mag chainring off a Schwinn, Rollfast handlebars, fork/headset off a Wallyworld Next, 3 speed Nexus wheelset from Nashbar with IRC Metro tires. Rear rack and grips are off the more (till now) complete twin. Seat off a '70 womens Rollfast that I gave to my aunt.
I still need to paint the fork black and mount the shifter. I think a tank insert is needed to finish it properly too.
Now that I know how to post pics I can post the whole fleet, which I will try to do this weekend.
