Early J.C. Higgins Skiptooth Baloon Tire

[American Vintage Bicycle Supply]

Here is an early J.C. Higgins of some kind.
Not sure of the make model or year but it seems pretty deluxe.
Missing fender light and truss rods.

Any info?

Cool bike. Not sure Id trust that fork, does it seem to have much flex or twist to it?

No its stronger than it looks, Its not thin metal.

That's a fairly rare Ross built JCH! The serial -should- start with an R, and probably have the year after. So R560000 would be a '56. -Adam
