JC "Mean Green" Higgins

[Firewalker]

well as always I have too many builds going on....but hey its fun.

along with the Rick-Shaw being mocked up, I was also able to strip down the 62 JC Higgins I picked up a while ago and get it ready for paint

Todays colour is "House of Color" Pearl green. I was able to lay down the base,colour and clear coat by the end of the day

once the clear has dried I will take some pictures in the sun for you all.

I have a cool Rat Fink seat, springers and a set of 24"coasters with white walls all still to come :mrgreen:

wicked green. The lugs on that frame are cool.

 

[Ffejtech]

Yea, that's a very nice color, and a great looking frame, very cool shape and stance to it....

Firewalker- I feel it is time to spread some bike karma, or whatever you wanna call it, I have something I bought quite awhile ago, for 1 dollar, at Toy'r's, I will send you these, if you want em, they are just hanging around, waiting for a project, and I saw your frame here and thought of these grips in the garage... Grabbed, took a few pics, here they are, I will send them to you, if you want em, you gotta USE 'EM, it wouldn't be right to resell them, but if you want 'em, send me a PM Or email with your address and I will send them out.... Like I said, I bought them thinking they would be good for a project sometime, even if it's not my own project, and this looks like a good home for them. I have some red ones I have used on another bike, and they are pretty comfy, I also had some yellow ones on an old store-run-lives outside bike I had, they are pretty cool.... here's the pics....

 

[Ffejtech]

Here's one more pic of them, so you can see their "hoodiness", they are kind of like old Oakley 3 grips if you remember those...

I would like to thank you very much for your offer and I'm sure that the "Bike Gods" will smile upon you this would be a perfect addition to this build, and I would very much like to have them for this build ...... however......

This build will not be staying in the fleet.....most bikes that are being built now will be sold. (except for the odd real cool one :mrgreen: Rick-shaw ) It would not be fair to place such a nice gift on a bike that will not stay

I am not only teaching my son how to build bikes but how to do a little banking aswell . After the sale of this bike we plan on opening a bank account under his name.

thanks again for your very kind offer! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[Ffejtech]

Hey, that's cool, they will just stay in the garage a little longer, might inspire me to build something that they would fit....

 

[Easy Skywalker]

Very cool colour, Firewalker!!!

 

[Firewalker]

well not much done lately....Sorry....

today I hope to have most of it back together....if I can remember how to put the crank set back together,lolol

I have one last set of rims left for the green machine....just like the ones I gave to Kev
