1950s JC HIGGINS COLORFLOW MENS TANK BICYCLE VINTAGE COLOR FLOW ELGIN VINTAGE 50

  

This is one of the COOLEST vintage bicycles I have EVER seen! Here is an original early 1950s VINTAGE (serial number is 138385) mens JC Higgins "Colorflow" beach cruiser bicycle with 26 wheels. This was the TOP OF THE LINE JC Higgins bicycle of the 1950s! They are much harder to find than any Schwinn Black Phantom and are very cool and unique!

With the insanely high price of gas (and the economy being bad) now is the time to ride a cool vintage bike! This bike has a cool original paint mens frame, frame mounted TANK, cool truss rod forks, JC Higgins head badge, deluxe chainguard, very cool cruiser style seat, wide cruiser handlebars, cool neck/stem and hand grips, full fenders with factory wrap around fender braces, JC Higgins embossed Persons Supreme pedals, Skiptooth chain and sprockets, rear carrier RACK, (has one JC Higgins side emblem) and more!

I got this one just like you see it and think it is awesome!! The front fender has the super cool BATWING headlight! The light has a hole in the bottom and is missing the rear tabs.

See pics, not great but very happy its still on the bike! This bike is the TOP DOG top of the line! They did not sell many of these when they were new! Consequently, they were rare back then and next to impossible to find today! Be the first to get this one back in the light and enjoy it. Very few higher end bikes like this are out there that have not been discovered! I hope you enjoy this one! The tires are 26x2.125. They are wide whitewall tires and do hold air.

The rear is very old and good for display only. Front is a newer replacement.

The bike has super cool matching painted raised center rims front and rear with a JC Higgins rear hub. (chrome shows age on brake arm) The bike is an original SINGLE SPEED with coaster brakes. (pedal slightly backwards to stop the bike) DIMENSIONS: The standover height is approx 31. The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 29. The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 19 1/4.

The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 22 1/2. The bike will accommodate most any rider comfortably.

The seat height is easy to adjust. NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is ok for its age! LOVE the fact that this one has its original paint! The paint ok for a 65+ year old bike!

(has chips scratches etc) The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality. Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. (most every used bike out there seems to).

The tank does not have a horn or jewels. This week, this item only. This appears to be a fairly nice original unmolested bicycle unless otherwise noted. A great bike to ride on relaxing days through the park or to the beach. Also would be a nice item to display in a shop, restaurant, rec room, sports bar, etc. Stand out from the crowd and be the envy of people who see you riding by. People will enjoy seeing you on your vintage bike! A great classic bike at a great price Why not ride a bike?

If you are looking for a fun bike to ride and enjoy this may be it! A nice bike to cruise the beach or your local park! Priced way less than a dime store bike that wont be around 5 years from now, much less 30+ years like this one! Please give this bike a good home and DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Classic bikes are very cool because not everyone on the block has one!

People love to see and talk about and ride these classic bikes! They are more popular now than ever before! This may be a great Birthday or other special holiday gift for someone! It is never too soon to think ahead and get someone something they may really like!!

These are getting to be hard to find in any condition and to my knowledge, have not been reproduced. PLEASE NOTE that many of the bikes I list have listed have been in long term storage and have not been regularly ridden in a while.

(not a bad thing) They may need standard tuning, greasing, may have old tires, surface rust etc. I try to be as honest as possible and never want to disappoint anyone. I try to be as honest as I can and disclose anything I know about the bike. I want you to be excited about your new bike and hope you really enjoy your new vintage ride for years to come.

We try to package well so the bike arrives to you in the same condition as it left us. Fed Ex just increased the rates. This is a 10+ day service and includes packing.
