JC Higgins, Royal Enfield trike, and an exorcise bike

[Big Fat Whitewalls]

I picked these up yesterday at the Sedalia MO. antique and collector car swap meet. The swap meet wasn't very good, I sell there every year, and yesterday only sold $5.00 worth of stuff. No buyers. None of the sellers I talked to did very well. I probably spent the most of anybody. First find was this 24" JC Higgins. I think it's JC Higgins from the guard, and the fender brackets. The head badge is gone. It's pretty nice. The Royal Enfield was sitting one aisle over from me, and I bought it at the end of the day. Lots of people looked at it, but nobody bought it. How rare are they? I've been wanting to build a custom trike, so I think this is going to be it. The exorcise bike was free. It has a neat brown seat, and grips. The pedals are brown too. Plus it has a speedometer.

The original seat is HUGE! Must have been a womens bike :wink:

i bought a royal enfield trike at a yard sale a couple of years ago. it was nice, but i got tired of moving it around the garage, and sold it. looks like a fun project.

i bought a royal enfield trike a year or more ago also.
are they rare? i dunno.
i'd prolly trade mine for a warm 6 pack
now this is a big seat

cool! The JCH is very clean. It's almost a shame someone painted the tank side and guard, because it has a really nice consistent fading and patina otherwise.

Does the trike have 26 inch wheels? The drum brake setup is pretty cool... if it's a 26 inch wheel, that's even better!
