I’ll take #5

So Good! Wow!!

Haha… no I meant I need one too. I been trying to find a picture of the top portion as well as the great pic u posted.

Do you have a pic of top plate portion?

I started collecting parts shortly after getting this frame in September. I’ve been doing little tear downs and inspections/cleanings as time at work and weekends allowed. Just recently I hit the gas on finally putting it all together. I’d say it took a handful of days of a few hours here and...

Do you know if that kickstand with cup was for ladies only or also for mens? I’m trying to track down correct style for a men’s straight bar. 49 Higgins - Westfield/Columbia built

Busy morning while watching TV and eating leftovers on my day off!! LOL. Reworked truss rods, skiptooth chain sized and mounted, re-assembled ND coaster brake, greased and adjusted all bearings that I’ve recently pulled apart for deep clean and inspection, rebuilt pedals I recently...

Got a little work in today on hub and coaster brake clean out and inspection. Pretty cool. First time I’ve ever pulled one of these apart.

Got a little time today and continued on getting fork ready - Extended keyway on steertube, straightened out a couple truss rods. Hacksaw on deck to get steertube length correct.

Finally got some time to cleanup some pedals I’ve been sitting on from EBAY. Nothing special but they were cheap. They are going on a rider and I do think they cleaned up pretty good some before and after pics

Rainy morning in the Bay. Happened to pick up this Rollfast frame, some bars, gooseneck, cranks, and seatpost for very little and a 20 min drive. Saving for another rainy day. I believe it’s a 57 out of Michigan City, Indiana? Probably gonna use some Hawthorne wheels I have unused from my...

This is the one! American Beauty!

Worked on steer tube threads, quick mock up

Thanks guys. Was waiting for some spare time to mess with it a bit. Ebay’d a die and Amazon’d a handle. I just got out the blue tape and sharpie and got some good threads cut/extended. Used a Vice with some copper jaw covers and fork wrapped. Worked pretty good. Next on list is to extend the...

I’m currently on my first build. I think it’s a 49 JC Higgins straight bar- Westfield/Columbia built. Pics of frame below. Mostly been trying to accumulate parts off EBay, and have made a few mistakes here n there. Expenses are adding up. Lol. My latest one, I purchased a truss Rod style fork...

I have a Higgins straight bar. Can’t find the usual numbers on the bottom bracket, or they aren’t visible. I did find some numbers stamped on left dropout but it doesn’t look like any that I can find on here. They look stamped in different orientation and format. Any ideas as to year/model...
