Most of the bikes I play with are from the '60s and '70s, but I've wanted an older tank bike for a while. A friend picked this up recently and decided he had too many other projects going, so now I got my tank bike.
Looking forward to digging into some research on this one. I know nothing about J.C. Higgins, or tank bikes or ballooners in general. The goal for right now is to get it to be a nice rider. I can ride it up and down the block, but it's got enough loose spokes to feel wobbly, so I'll find a newer junk cruiser on CL or FB to rob wheels from temporarily. From there on it'll be an evolutionary thing to pick away at.
