Mid-50's J.C. Higgins.

This one was picked up from a neighbor. His father used it to get around his farm and it has been sitting around in a barn for longer that I've been alive! :lol:

I cleaned it up as much as I could, greased all the bearings and put on some new/old tires on and It was good to go! (this thing is not made for any further than a mile ride though )

That is not the barn it came from. The one it did come from is about 2 miles from my house. Neighbors are different out here rather than in a city environment haha. Thanks everybody!

Wow, you owe your neighbor a nice steak dinner!

If this photo doesn't make the FB RRB Bike of the Day, I'd be very surprised.
