Re: "For Ape Hangers Only" Club work in progress

Tried to take a pic , not much to see but a 3/4 inch hole in the bottom of the fork. I think I can install some kind of expansion not if that is what it needed.

I am trying to mount the front fender on a late 40's higgins. Should there be some type of fastener in the fork to mount the fender to? This bike was disassembled 30 years ago and I don't know if I am missing something. Thanks

I Think we call em sandspurs.

Purple was cool in the 90's. Along with the rasta salsa QR's.

post war (late 40's) Maruishi, with the mechanical brakes and such.

Re: Need help identifying this bicycle's from Today haul That last one looks like the bike they restored on American Restoration.

5/8" , will solid stock work?

I am working on my mothers 49 JC Higgins. What are my options for a seat post? I want a modern seat so she can ride in more comfort, any suggestions?

There should be a wedge shaped piece that attaches to the bottom of the stem. This is what allows the stem to tighten in the headtube. Make sure that is attached before you install it.

Thanks, I was adding the $15 shipping.

What can anyone tell me about these? Schwinn style, $50 Chrome.

I think a little heat and a large vice would give you the most control. A hammer might be hard to get both sides the same.
