Hello Cabe'rs !
I need to be educated on the difference between a boys JC Higgins Jet Flow FRAME versus the Colorflow frame....
I have a girls Jet Flow which I want to shift over everything to a boys frame ...
Often times I see them advertised for sale and the sellers usually say it is both.
I know there is some difference in the "Middle bar" but I'm not clear which is which ....
Thank you in advance for helping me distinguish the difference!
CCR Dave ..... and Happy 2022 to you all !
 
All I know is the boys JC Higgins Jet Flow and the Colorflow frames and tanks are not interchangeable!

That is what I've been thinking .... NOW I'm thinking about this girls bike I have .... Is it a Jet Flow OR a Colorflow ??
It does have the factory headlight with the front fender which has the "recess" for the headlight wiring .... and ....
it does have the unique Blue Jet Flow rear reflector within the twin chrome "peaks"...
Did JC Higgins make a girls Jet Flow ?? I assume that's what I have...
BELOW are 2 pics from the internet >>>
I believe the frame with the "Straighter" mid bar is the Jet Flow and the more "Curved" mid bar is the Colorflow....
I would love to have a CABE'r who knows these JC Higgins to confirm or correct my beliefs ...
Thank you! CCR Dave
