OLD J.C.HIGGINS "tin man"

[Charles]

Higgins rat with missing parts, bent fork, bad wheel and one of the top tubes has been cut out.
I think the "tin man" did all of this... at least that's the story I'm sticking to.

I used a cranbrook wheel with the jc higgins hub

After cleaning I found a cool Black bike so I put a more grim seat on and bang.
Want to find the missing bridle clamps and perhaps even get back that sheetmetal the tin man took.

It was a fun project... hope ya'll like.

Lookin' good! 8)
I think the "tin man" might have also swiped some parts off of those sweet forks!

 

[Charles]

Got some parts for "Tin"

Tank from SimpleMan..."thanks for the chain by the way"
Rack from rbonney
And a really cool tractor light from jerrykr
I recovered a Persons saddle
And it's great that the tank stays in place and hides that missing top tube!

Here are some shots from this morning:

I can't stop looking at the way that light sits in front of the beehive. Legendary!
