An older woman passed away and when the kids were tossing things out I grabbed two bikes. One was a 1971 3-speed schwinn racer..... the other a mystery. I want to clean it up for my girlfriend but I would like to know exactly what it is first.
Here is what I know about it.
The front hub is stamped made in england.
I believe it has JC Higgins painted on the chain gaurd and on the seat post.
It is a single speed.
It has 40 spoke rims
The left rear drop-out has a code 15046ky.
So it is a english made JC Higgins? The only thing I cant figure out is an aproximate year... Im not looking for exact just an educated guess...like 1995 to 2000
This guy on ebay has an identicle frame but no year.

Can any of the bike buffs figure this out?
I have some pic to help out.
Thanks!
