New bike
Been trying to find this bike for quite a while. Finally did. Campagnolo front and rear derailleurs, brake levers. Seat is period appropriate ADGA. 700c rims and new tires.
Previous owner changed the rims, tires and handlebar tape. This bike is very close to original. Additional pictures to come on this 1962 Jc Higgins 10 speed Racer.

Wasn't aware of a JCHggins with Campy.
Looks to be almost a show quality bike.
Needs old wheels if the paint is as unblemished as it seems.
Maybe take your detailed pics and start a thread in C&V.
edit: Saw this is your first post. Welcome to Bike Forums. This bike will draw interest on C&V. A good many c&v industry folks. Serial number helps. Dropouts, lugs, fork crown, tubing decals, etc best document who may have brazed/welded it. Really nice bike.
Or, if you've got the whole story, please let us all learn.

I may look for the old wheels to have on hand. Like I posted the bike was 90% original so I snagged it. I talked to the owner about the wheels and he changed them in order to have greater selection of tires. He had purchased the ones photographed and really wanted to use them.
