$10 Schwinn: good deal to fix and flip or naw?

[Bike from the Dead]

Thinking about buying this Schwinn to fix it up and resell it to make a little cash. I've got wheels and tubes, but I'd definitely need to buy tires for it. Sound like it's worth the effort, or should I just pass on it? I could use the parts either way.

Looks like a 24 inch? It has all the painted parts, I would snatch it up for $10

I thought it was a 26" but you may be right. Sounds good. Thanks!

The head tube looks short like a Stingray that would be a 24 inch.

I think you're right. I see that now.

Sounds good if you have correct size spare rear wheel and replace front wheel spoke etc.

I'm not seeing any meat on the bone here. That would be a pass for me.

Well I thought I had everything until I saw that it's a 24" bike. I've got some 24" aluminum wheels, but they're all apart at the moment. I do have some tubes and tires though. Nothing "correct," but enough to get it riding.

Understandable. I could still use the parts to fix some other bikes though.

Good if you want one to give to a relative or something but even polished and fixed to mint condition it’s maybe $150, and the time it takes to get it there is well more than 15 hours. Always consider your time. You only get so much of it in life.
