JC HIGGINS 16 Inch Pig Finished!

[Jaxon]

I love when a vision works in real life. I bought this JC Higgins 16 inch bike to make a cool pig bike. Since they used rat trap forks on JC Higgins bikes I thought a Screamer fork would be a perfect fit. A 15 inch seat and some midget sized handlebars in the change over of parts. A fat Duro 16 x 3 rear tire. This is the first real mock up of it. I have a silver mylar striped seat I can also use. Not sure on paint color yet. I will probably remove the fork reflectors or buy a different fork without them. I have a few Screamer front rims to make a matched set of rims for it. It started life as a hard tire bike. Now it will get a major upgrade.

If I threw enough money at him I'm sure it would be.

Got the paint on this bike. It came out really nice I think. Found some 16 inch 28h nos rims to build for it. I also found another one like this but older pre war model.

I had one of those hard tire bikes when I was a kid. You have done wonders with that Higgins.

Man, I love that little bike, and I'm normally a crusty ol' 30's/40's/50's 26" balloon tire kinda guy. GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HatesIT]

Really like this bike guy. Very nice.

I have to ask. Is the bike really that long? Looks to be comparable to a standard 20” frame.

 

[Jaxon]

It is 49 inches from back of back tire to front of front tire. Sears Spyder 20 inch is 53 inches. Frame from back to steering tube is about 31 inches. Very close to a 20 inch frame.

Came out really nice!

I'm very jealous of the kids that get to ride that JC Piggins.
