help answer questions on this bike

[M & M cycle]

Hi, this is a bike my 16 year old Son recently picked up, can anybody tell us the year, what the correct grips and seat would look like and where can we find a rear fender bracket and rivets for this type bike, it was purchased from the original owner, nice original paint,it has a J C Higgins head badge riveted on, the tank and rear hub look like Elgin but we don't know much about either, its one of his favorites and we want some more info and would like to find a correct seat and grips, thanks for your help, M & M

go to nostalgic.net and search the archives.you will find the correct parts and such for all the bikes you to put together to sell on ebay.with "your 16yr. old son"isn't that your business anyway?this is a form for collectors "not to pump you guys for info to improve my ebay sales." i believe this is one of your recent sale. http://www.ebay.com/itm/370889455597...84.m1438.l2648 that was very well done.I am all for teaching the yungens' how to become succsessfull in life by teaching them to sell on ebay.but,this is a collectors forum for bike collectors NOT A PUMP YOU GUYS FOR INFO TO BOOST MY EBAY SALES. aren't you the guy who is ebayer Luke5.4 ? eagle lake MN. ? who use the sales pitch "MY 16 yr. old sons bike" ?

thanks

yes we do sell on ebay but we also collect, my Son has been collecting for 3 years, he is always trying to upgrade his collection, he buys and sells as do most collectors, we are all searching for better rides, this is a bike he plans on keeping and would appreciate any info, he has sold a bunch of bikes and bike parts on the bay,as time goes on we both have grown fond of them and each have a few keepers, we live on the sakata trail and ride it regulary , I respect your opinion but could do with out the negative comments, Mark and Michael

[dave the wave]

don't get me wrong.new collectors are always welcome on the cabe.we just don't like to be used for one's personal gain.

 

[dave the wave]

our paths will cross someday soon.and you will be greeted with a handshake.you are welcomed here when you and your son become bike collectors.or maybe stick to the fishing lures?

nope this our first time as a member but we have read the posts before

nope this is our first time on the cabe as a member, everybody told us join the cabe,you can meet great people ,and learn a lot about bikes,but be carefull!! there are a few really mean people!!, if you don't want us as members that's fine, I thought this would be a fun place that we could join to help us with the bike hobby, we have read the posts before, so we knew what to expect, I don't know what else I can say or do to convince you otherwise, is it ok to post my full name and address, let me know what we need to do,mark & michael

Your reputation precedes you

"is it ok to post my full name and address, let me know what we need to do,mark & michael"

No need, we already know who you are ...
