Thanks for the info. What do you think the value would on one in this kind of condition? Thanks

Cool find. Welcome to The CABE Valve to me is pretty minimal in the condition it is BUT do not let that discourage you even if I am right. Many of us have been into these old bikes for 20-30 years. Don't collect just for value, collect what speaks to you. It doesn't have to be super valuable to be cool or neat. Just don't get buried in the cost/vale ratio. It will clean up. There are many threads here about how to clean and service. Keep us posted.

I've got a similar AMF, 1969 "The Flying Wedge". Similar condition too. Had it for 15 plus years. Do something with it eventually. Those AMF 5 spds are actually kinda cult bikes and not real common.

Thanks for all the replies. I think its awesome. Gonna clean it up this weekend. My oldest son is already eyeing it. He said it would be really cool to ride on campus to classes. Ill post a photo after I clean it up.
