Looking for a gently used, 1940's or 50's woman's bike. Needs minor repairs? That's ok too! Needs to be a little larger so it fits a 5'10 person.
I have some bikes available, but they are all the restoration queue right now. There is a late 1940s 26" woman's Huffy with tank that I have, but it needs total restoration.
I have a small side business restoring these old bikes for reenactors and living history types, so most of the subject bikes are a bit beyond "gently used" when I get them. However, when they leave my shop they are nearly new. Below are before and after shots of a '46 or '47 JC Higgins I restored for a fellow Lounger, "Retrogirl1941". The only bad thing would be shipping, it isn't cheap from PA to AZ.
