1950's jc higgins jet flow

[Metal Militia]

picked this up from a garage sale. it's been repainted. i got it from the 2nd owner, who had the tank, rack, and guard sandblasted, and that's as far as he got in his resto. appears what's here is original to the bike, including tires. no plans yet, other to get it tuned up and test ridden.

Saw it for sale In Livonia at a garage sale. Did you get his other tanker?

Sick! Those are really nice bikes. Very well built and very nice lines and styling. I own an original one now and owned a restored about a year back. Nice find! 8)

yes, it was a huffy/western flyer that was repainted. missing the headlight. i didn't want it to be lonely so i picked it up.

Nice find. Looking at all these "other" cool bikes confirms that Schwinn was not very creative.

IMO, Murray made some of the coolest bikes.

Hey Will, you might as well post the other one. No wonder I cant get any bikes in this area, Ive got you and the flyingdingo to compete with. You didnt happen to go down to Monroe on Friday did you? :?

 

[SCHWINNRAY69]

I agree with stretch. Keep it as it is. 8)

i didn't go to monroe, i was on vacation all week. here is a pic of the other bike, i think it's a huffy built western flyer. the seat creaks, but is actually a pretty smooth ride.
