    60's Murray Jet Fire

    Very good chance that is the original hub and wheels, I have a 50's Murray built Higgins that has a Komet Super hub, clean and repack that badboy for the smoothest coaster you will ever ride.

    Indian Bicycle?

    Wow, never seen anything like that, that frame is pretty unique, reminds me of some old Japanese bikes I've seen before.

    What gave JC Higgins bikes such a bad rap back in the 50"s???

    I can understand about the bmx scene but back in the 50's and earlier bikes were pretty much on a level playing field. Steel is real : )

    What gave JC Higgins bikes such a bad rap back in the 50"s???

    Thanks, good info fellas. I'm only 38 but have always liked Murray bikes above any other, my very first bmx bike was a red murray 20" around 1980 or 81. To me Schwinn has always been to popular of a top 40 brand with very little appeal, even my Murray canti frames ride better and track...

    What gave JC Higgins bikes such a bad rap back in the 50"s???

    Just curious because the Murray built Higgins bikes from the 50's are my all time favorite tank bike design, all the lines just flowed. I've read online that they were basically the generic bike of the 50's, even the one I picked up yesterday, the old guy I bought it from who got it new back in...

    Higgins Score

    First score I've had in quite a while, took the fam down to North Myrtle beach over the weekend. While there I checked out the local C-list and found this mid 50's boys Higgins, great condition, wheels are super nice, has a Komet Super hub, I repacked all the bearings and hubs with Mobile One...

    ShwiCoM Rat Junker Project In Process

    That thing is sweet, has a certain steam punk flare about it, if that bad boy was all satin black with white tires it would look like some kind of future racer from back in the twenties, nice.

    Tangerine Terror aka Dimples

    Nice man, so clean. 26" springer with a 16" wheel would look pretty sick to.

    All Terrain Cruiser

    Here's a redux of one of my favorite framesets, it's a converted Huffy mountain bike. Kind of a mish mash of BMX, Klunker and beach cruiser all into one. I really like the frame on this one and it has been quite a few other builds, I think I like this one the best, rides great. I put a super...

    50's model Western Flyer

    I sure wouldn't sell a bike that cool and old in that original condition, you'll never find another one.
