What Is This B6 Worth?

[BASHER76]

I was offered to trade my 90% original 1951 Columbia 5 star superb for this 1952 Schwinn B6 that has been completely restored. Good or bad deal? My Columbia is the bottom pic.

That's a tough call but I think I'd have to go with the Schwinn if I had to choose.

I'd already be riding the Schwinn! V/r Shawn

Schwinn,but notice my user name.

It looks like you ride the columbia based on seat height. Consider that. Pretty bikes can be disappointing when they get scratched, dirty or fall over.

I'd take the Schwinn.

I do ride that Columbia, being 6'5" is tough lol. what is the Schwinn worth being totally restored? I know that restored bikes are worth less than original bikes.

I'm not going to put a price on it but the Schwinn is worth considerably more than your bike. V/r Shawn

What size are those bikes? I'm 6'4" and try to find a bike in the optional 20" frame. Depending on frame geometry, sometimes a 19" frame is pretty comfortable. 18"'er's are out of the question.

I'm not a Schwinn guy, but if that resto was done correctly and I had to choose between the two, I'd probably go with the Schwinn as well.

Those are both 26" wheel size.

I know. I'm talking about the frame size, not wheel size. Many manufactures offered their bikes in a 20" frame in addition to the regular 18" frame.
