Picked up yesterday, what is it?

[james ackerman]

Picked this up at a flea market yesterday for 70 bucks. Can't figure out what it is. I know it doesn't have the the original handlebars on it. Looks like they came off a bicycle.

Pretty sure you have a Harrison .

Looks about right now that I've looked up harrisons. When were they made.

 

[james ackerman]

Any one have a harrison seat in good condition they would wanna trade for a roper seat?

 

[cheezy1]

Might wanna figure out why they braced the bottom of the frame like that. Something musta cracked at some point.

 

[james ackerman]

Someone put a scrub brake on it at one time. That's what that is underneith the frame. I plan on taking that off.

They used Schwinn handle bars on them so you may have the right bars.

 

[james ackerman]

I don't think they are correct bars, in the middle of the mounts on the bike there is a ribbed part on the bars where the original mount would have went on what I'm guessing was a bicycle. They look good on the bike, but I'm not liking that mount area showing.

Great purchase.:thumbsup:

Phil Harrison was on here a few years ago and I asked about the bars, here is a link to his answer.

Thanks, have you ever made a seat for one of these. Do you have any examples I can look at?

Phil has not been on the site in 3 years it will be interesting to see if he answers your email. The seats had the word Harrison molded or heat pressed into them so you would have to find someone that can do that.

 

[james ackerman]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, if anyone has any leads let me know, I'm still willing to trade this roper Seay for a wildcat seat.

 

[manchester1]

This is a original Harrison seat and a re-pop that I made. There was no writing on the seat. The seat was plain 1" heat pleat.

 

[james ackerman]

Ok I will deffinetly people get a hold of you for one of those in the future. I love my charger seat thanks again
