I picked up this JC Higgins bike, its complete but the handlebars and wheels are out of the picture. Skiptooth drivetrain and springer fork, tank with a horn in the inside also connected to the light on the front and old old corroded batteries.

While I personally prefer lightweights.
NICE RIDE.
Do you have a line on replacement parts?

It looks to be in really good nick, nice paint etc.

very cool!!

have you a need for the skirt-guard? (kidding)

Does that thing take 24 or 26" wheels? I may have some old 24's with whitewalls hiding in the garage...
