Okay thanks!

I just got this JC Higgins today. Can someone identify the year from the serial number? The numbers are M.O.T.S.-V, MOD-502, 458, and 112509. Thank you in advance!

Okay great. I will check that out when I get it. I'll be picking it up tomorrow. Thanks again.

Thanks! CWC...is that Cleveland Welding?

It says Persons Supreme on the pedals. I never heard of this one before. It looks '50's to me but not sure. The chainguard is missing and I don't know if it once had a rear rack. He wants $20 for it. Also there is another bike that I can use for parts to put this one back on the road for $40.

Thank you, kingfish. Yes, the tank is all there, it's just being held on with wire but no biggie.

I'm watching this bike on ebay. It's an old ('50's?) JC Higgins. It has some issues. It has a rear fender from another bike, the tank looks like it's held on with bailing wire (there's several other pics of the bike) , not sure if the rims are any good, don't know if anything is seized, etc. He...

Does anybody have any info on this bike? It is for sale and I am considering buying it. I had never heard of this bike before. My friend says that the company is out of business but I don't know for sure. So, I'm wondering if this would make a good trail bike and also wondering how hard it would...

Thanks! I'll post the others soon.

There's the exact one on ebay right now for $175.

Yeah I've always wanted one of those. It will be going on my Western Flyer rat bike. It has a flat spot and a couple holes where there was once a light I guess. My friend said he thinks the ornament is only worth $20 but I doubt it. I've seen them once in a great while on ebay for big money.

Sweet bike! Yeah it looks all original but the whole front part of the tank is broken. I'm using it for parts for my '57 Torpedo.

Need info on this parts bike please. Serial number is M543817. I think it is '63 but not positive. If anyone knows please let me know. Also wondered if anyone knows what model this is.

Are there any vintage bike clubs in Northern New Hampshire?

I just looked up the inflation calculator, it says that $40 in 1957 would be about $430 today. Wow. It's a wonder how any parents could afford to buy a bike for their kids back then. We have a bike shop here in town that has some bikes for $5,000. Crazy.

Okay, thanks!

How much would a Columbia bike have cost in 1957? I guessed about $30 but my neighbor says more than that. Just curious. I realize that some models might have been more expensive than others.

Thanks!

Here's my '53 J.C. Higgins that I got in a trade with a friend who lives a couple streets over who is also into old bikes. This had been sitting in his backyard leaning against a big tree stump with weeds growing around it for I don't know how long. I had asked him about it a couple times but he...
