1949 Schwinn

[TheFizzer]

I know pics would help a ton but I don't have any yet. I know a guy wanting to sell a 1949 beautifully restored cream & maroon 1949 Schwinn mens bike. S2 wheels with straight bar tank & light on fender. All original parts were used & I believe the paint was done buy the guys at Chestnut Hollow. The bike is perfect!! Any idea of a rough value on a restored bike like this as what I should pay? I've just never bought a restored bike before.

Without pics there is absolutely no way to accurately value this bike. V/r Shawn

A Hornet maybe?

Without pictures $0 to $5,000,000. Your question is the same as asking I have a red Ford what is it worth. Roger

Thanks for all your help with this. Next time I'll just say I have a red bike what's it worth without giving the year & details like I did.

$1500 Maroon Schwinn, $2500 for the red Ford.

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS!

An original Panther or Hornet are worth less than a thousand. I'd say a re-done bike is worth less than that. Barry
