[my560sec]

Up for consideration is this antique 1890's circa Hagerstown Maryland Crawford 28" men's TOC Bike...
Bike has most of its original factory parts but missing its rims / tires... Condition surface rust as well as blemishes, Top bar has a small
left topside ding: Minor... Frame / Fork is straight, Hubs are in working order as well as chain not frozen... Bulldog grips are missing their leather but intact... Overall, a nice antique Crawford TOC bike project in need of rims / tires... Thanks for looking!

Considering that putting this Men's Crawford through all of the steps that would be required to bring the bicycle up to the standard I've set for my restoration work ( nickel plating all bright metal, soda blast and powdercoat frame/fork, Pin Stripe frame, restore saddle (The Saddle Shop), new rims (Stutzman's Wheel Shop), Display tires ( Universal Tires) Spokes &Nipples, plus approximately 65 hours of my labor I'm estimating my restoration
cost for the bike would be approximately $3,300. Added to that would be the purchase price of $1,099. plus $300 shipping ( to Sebastian, Florida) for a total of $4,500. Where as, to make any mid-range-quality men's TOC restored bicycle attractive to a buyer in todays market one would have to priced at or near $3,200. To make my interest in purchasing the Crawford as a worth-while restoration project I can offer you $500. plus shipping.
