Early 60s JC Higgins Middleweight Cruiser

This immaculate example of a Sears Higgins bicycle is in the condition it is in because for the last 30 or so years of its life, it was stored indoors. This bike sat in the store room of a shuttered resale shop and was well protected. It's amazing what a nice basket, some new tires and a few coats of wet wax can do.
