Got two new (old) bikes today from a fellow RRB member. Really cool guy. First is a JC Higgins 20" Bendix junior hub, original paint in GREAT shape. Pretty cool little bike. I might make a small tank for it later but other than that I will leave it alone.
Second is this Firestone Flame 20" Muscle bike, all original right down to the slightly dry rotted tires and they actually STILL HOLD AIR! I do need to rebuild the Bendix 70 hub on the back, it's sticking a bit. Being a Bendix 70 hub I assume it's somewhere between a 1970 and a 1976 when Bendix 76 hubs came out. But I could be wrong.
Better pics soon.
