not very fresh... 50's J.C Higgins

[Craiggo]

Here is a lower 50's JC Higgins that I bought last year from a neighbor. His dad used it for riding back and forth between farms and has been sitting his barn for the last 30 years.
he was intending on fixing it up but knowing how things get done there, it wouldnt have :mrgreen: .
Since buying it last year, I freed up all the links in the chain (it was horrible), I undented the rear fender and rack, I whipped some alright tires on it and it now rides like a 500 pound dream haha. I may re-apholster the seat but that is undecided for now. I will also try to tack the rack back to the seatpost bracket

Thanks guys! Hey skipton, have you seen this? Never finished, it's waiting to have its paint redone. It is such a bad job! (I wonder who to blame )
