1950s or 1960s VINTAGE men's 26" JC Higgins or Monark beach cruiser bicycle. This bike has been in storage for many years and is ready to be back in the sun once again! This should be considered a project bike. It can be ridden but should be greased etc.

The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 18". The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 22". The bike will accomadate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust.
*NOTED FLAWS Bike comes as shown. Will need a resto to be a show bike or enjoy it like it is. It has a vintage Schwinn chainguard. Will make a great lowrider or project bike. Otherwise, just have fun with it like it is.
