sears bike

[flatfender]

I picked this up a few weeks ago, other than lubing the chain and airing up the tires it's a rider.
After looking for a few hours on the internet I have not been able to find any info on it, maybe someone out there can help.

I got a big kick out of the reflectors on the forks.
the only thing I've found was that it has a simular frame to the early 60's Sears bikes.

neat old sears bike. if thats a 26" bike, thats a huge chainring up front. 53t? i can tell you that it looks early 70's. i know that most all jc higgins bikes (sears sold bikes untill 64-65 when they dropped the jch nameplate) were made by murray or huffy in the early 60's. don't know how long that stayed that way though.

That's a Murray made bicycle.

I remember that paint scheme and reflector on a neighbor's bike, it was new or nearly new in 1972.
