Need Help with 2 Vintage Finds!!!

[Espo415]

My neighbor is selling two vintage bikes and I wanted to see if anyone can give me info on what type of bikes they are. Yr, Mode,l Etc....
Also wanted to see what some people would pay for these two bikes. The red one has a JC Higgins Badge.
Thanks

Are those 26" wheels on there??? That second bike looks small...

 

[Espo415]

I think they are 24" wheels

The red bike was made for Sears by Monark, mid 50s. The chainguard, crank, pedals, chainring, and rear rack aren't original. I'd say $100 tops. The second bike is a CWC Roadmaster, a deluxe bike that looks all original. If it were a 26", it'd be worth $300+. Though the 24" version is rare, there's not as much collector interest. But they're both cool bikes! -Adam

I'd pay $200 for both of them :wink:

depends - east coast money, west coast money or midwest money - there IS a difference :|

And don't forget, Canadian money I never see bikes like that up my way so I have no idea what one be worth!

Then you need my opinion, i`m canadian. if you want it, pay what it costs unless it`s a stupid price. Start off with 100$ each, 200$ tops for red, the other if it has 24`wheels make it a banana seat bike. I myself wouldn`t pay much because I need 26`` wheels so i`d pay max 200$ for that, but if your shorter and will like it max 300$ That or save your money and get something you liked shipped in like I did, How many canadians get the chance to own two firestone super cruisers?! me! lol but yeah, if it`s for you, you can always upgrade the red one by ordering parts in like tank and so on. try trading a newer bike, it actualy works alot of times
