Details
You could be the proud owner of this vintage J.C. Higgins Ladies bicycle. This bicycle has a nice horn tank and skirt guard that really looks great! Also features a nice Elgin Cooling Fin rear coaster brake hub with a rear brake light, front and rear color matched fenders, rear color matched rack, dual spring saddle and some comfy cruiser bars. This bicycle is looking for a new home and it could be yours.
BIKE CONDITION:
This bicycle is in good shape with little use. The paint is in good shape for its age with scratches, chips and a little rust coming through. A little polishing compound and a good coat of wax and she'd shine up nice. The chrome has some rust and pitting. Rear rack has a nice built in light/brake light that connects to the rear coaster brake, not sure if working but looks to be in great shape. The seat has a bit of wear. This bike has been fully tuned by a seasoned shop mechanic with many years of experience. Then the bike was test ridden and given a thorough eighty three point inspection by the owner. Finally the owner rides the bicycle checking steering,braking,and shifting. After you receive this bicycle minimal adjustments and assembly will be needed to be ready to ride.
This bike is being sold as is, please see photographs for details.
