VINTAGE JC HIGGINS BICYCLE 1950'S-60'S TANK BIKE- SURVIVOR - GREAT RIDER - NICE

Description

LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY - LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY - LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY!!!!
UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS ULTRA RARE JC HIGGINS TANK BICYCLE - BIKE
I'M NOT SURE THE EXACT YEAR OF MANUFACTURE BUT I BELIEVE IT TO BE EITHER LATE 1950'S OR
EARLY 1960'S
THE SERIAL NUMBER, (OR WHAT I THINK IS THE SERIAL #) IS SHOWN IN THE LAST PHOTO (#12)
AND READS: 502 46561 183761. (IT IS MY GUESS THAT THIS BICYCLE WAS MADE IN 1961).
THIS BICYCLE COULD EVEN BE A PROTO-TYPE AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER SIMILAR TANK
BIKE WITH ONLY
A SINGLE HEADLAMP. ALL OTHERS FROM THIS PERIOD THAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED
HAVE DOUBLE OR TWIN LAMPS IN THE FIXTURE.
THIS IS A SURVIVOR AND UNTIL I FOUND IT AN ORIGINAL OWNER UNRESTORED BICYCLE.
I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO SELL THIS AMAZING CLASSIC TANK BIKE, BUT IT'S TIME TO THIN
DOWN THE HERD!
HERE ARE SOME OF THE MANY FEATURES OF THIS FULLY LOADED JC HIGGINS 26" TANK BICYCLE:
EXCELLENT RIDER CONDITION; FULLY SERVICED BY STEVE'S BIKE SHOP, (CLASSIC BIKE
SPECIALIST)
IN ALTA DENA, CA., HE EVEN LUBED THE HUBS, CRANK, ETC.; NEW TIRES & TUBES; WORKING
SCHWINN SPEEDOMETER; WORKING FRONT HEADLAMP; NON-WORKING REAR TAIL LAMP;
WHITE TROXEL SADDLE WITH CRASH GUARD; VINTAGE NOS EXCEL RED & WHITE PEDALS;
REAR BICYCLE
RACK; VINTAGE NOS UMEZAWA SUPER BELL BICYCLE BELL. TIRES ARE DURO 26" X 1.75
WHITE WALLS; VINTAGE REAR REFLECTOR; REAR HUB IS KOMET SUPER F&S; KICK STAND WITH
WHITE PLASTIC GUARD
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER MUST HAVE LEFT THE BATTERIES IN THE HEADLAMP.
I HAD STEVE'S BIKE SHOP REMOVE ALL OLD ACID, REPLACE THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT AND
THE HEADLAMP IS NOW FULLY OPERATIONAL. ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT A SMALL PART OF THE LAMP
HOUSING, (PLEASE SEE PICTURES UNDERNEATH) HAS A SMALL PIECE OF METAL MISSING. THIS DOES
NOT EFFECT IT'S OPERATION AT ALL AND GIVEN THAT IT IS UNDER THE LAMP,  IS VIRTUALLY
UNNOTICABLE. HEAD LAMP OPERATES WITH 2 "C" CELL BATTERIES, (NOT INCLUDED).
THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES, KNICKS, ETC. TO THE ORIGINAL PAINT AND GRAPHICS, BUT
OVERALL, VERY NICE ORIGINAL CONDITION. THIS BICYCLE HAS NOT BEEN RESTORED, ONLY
PROPERLY SERVICED BY A PROFESSIONAL. COASTER BRAKE WORKS GREAT, REALLY NICE
RIDER CONDITION!! SOME PAINT TOUCH UPS AROUND THE HEAD STOCK WHERE THERE WAS
SOME DAMAGE FROM BATTERY ACID FROM HEADLAMP AS MENTIONED.
