It's a Columbia built JC Higgins and the serial number on the left dropout is K163000.

The owner bought it new in 1958 but I just don't know much about Firestone bikes. If anyone knows about these,please fill me in. Thanks!

K064687. Someone told me it's a '60 but I would like a second opinion. Thanks!

Can someone decode these serial numbers for me please and tell me what year my bike is? The bike is a Firestone Super Cruiser made by Monark. The model number is 18039A100 and the serial number is A1483545. Thank you for any help.

My friend here in town has this Monark for sale. He had wanted what he paid for it which is $475 but he said he would sell it to me for $430. This is the only pic I have of it. Would you guys guess it's worth it in your opinion? I know these are worth a lot of money for some reason. I don't...

Okay so the first pic is a bike that I am considering buying. The woman says it's a '55 Columbia. It's really rusty but very cool. I would love to have it. She wants $300 for it. Is it worth it? Also, it's 2 hours away from me but I'm willing to go get it. The second pic is just for comparison...

Is there a way to remove the neck when it is rusted to the steering tube inside the head tube?

Does anyone know when these bikes were made? The head badge says Executive. I never heard of this bike before. I got this bike for free and am using it for parts. I just wanted the handlebars mostly, but am going to use the seat also. If it's any help, the serial number is 116303.

Does anyone know what this white bike is? These are the only pics I have of it from the seller. They have this and the blue Schwinn Hollywood, both for $100. I'm thinking of combining the two bikes, putting some of the Schwinn parts on the white bike and making it a cool cruiser. Not sure if...

A very good friend of the family had this old Foremost. It has been off the road for 20 years. It was sitting in sort of an alleyway between two of his buildings for a long time. He wanted it gone so he let me have it for free. So me and my father-in-law went to rescue it. It's better than I...

So I got this late '60's-early '70's Stingray chainring cheap on ebay because I just like how the mag chainring looks, but I didn't realize how big it was. The original one on my rat is 46T. The other one is 52. I'm guessing that if I put the 52 on, there will be a huge difference and am...

This guy on marketplace claims that his JC Higgins Flightliner is a '54 (even though for some reason he has it listed as a '51) and he also claims that he has paperwork from when it was new to prove it. 1954 was the end of the line for balloon tire bikes, so this bike would be built after '54...

This guy on fb marketplace has this old Manta Ray for $100. I thought it might make a cool rat bike. Do you guys think it's worth it? Also, is this bike 24 inch or 26?

This is a (China) Schwinn Debutante I picked up for $25. I had bought it for a parts bike but none of the parts on it fit anything else, not even the back rim! So I decided to fix it up instead. The frame and forks were white and the rims, fenders and chainguard were pink, and it had all these...

I'm just wondering if this bike is worth the $50 the seller is asking? They were $88 at Walmart when they came out. My friend says it's a turd and not to buy it. Just wondering what you guys think.

Is anyone else seeing these? Lately I have noticed a lot of sellers on ebay posting $200 Walmart beach cruisers for hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars, like this one. This guy's description says that this bike is from the 1950's and it belonged to his deceased grandfather and it has been...

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!

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.

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...
