FINISHED!



This 1961 J.C. Higgins will be back at the Chain Reaction Bike Shop tomorrow. It is a classic Austrian made 3-spd. With lugged frame and fenders. I just finished a full repack / tune up / and clean up. It ended up being more work than I thought it would be, lots of rusted and frozen parts. I had to have a chain guard brace remade at the local welding shop. It didn’t turn out a nice as I would have liked. The paint is dead and will not hold a shine. If I was to keep it I would do a blast and repaint. It is worth it. This is a Classic!
