1966(?) J.C. Higgins Fliteliner

Hi all,

 

I have what I believe to be a 1966 Fliteliner(based on serial number) that I have refurbished. I currently have it listed on Kijiji for $250. I am getting very little interest. I believe it may be due to the size; XS, suitable for a rider in the 5' area......

I have refurbished and sold several vintage bikes with very little trouble. I have gauged the price, at what I believe reasonable, based on what I have have sold in the past and what the market seems to say. 

I try to keep all parts original, where possible. All bearings and components have been cleaned, inspected and regrease/oiled. This bike features new tires, tubes, chain, cables and housings. 

I am open to suggestions, constructive criticisms. 

Also, I am willing to negotiate a better price with someone here who truly appreciates these vintage bikes. I live in the Greater Toronto Area. 

Disclaimer: The saddle is original......and probably the most uncomfortable saddle experience Ive had. Youll want to consider another saddle if you plan to ride.

I am including before and after photos.
