'Lil Knee Scuffer
I have a somewhat complete basket case that I put together back in the early 1990’s.
I’m trying to put a value on some of the pieces in preparation for selling.
I can’t find a google search sale on one of these frames, any help would be appreciated.

I have a few questions that may help. Is the bottom bracket conversion the only addition to this frame? And are the serial numbers legible? Is there a tab in the neck to locate a locking springer bottom cup? Just wondering if it was one of the repop Phantom frames from the 80's with Whizzer stuff added.

I’m sorrry if my post wasn’t clear!
this is a Schwinn California Special frame. I have no doubts as I have accumulated a lot of knowledge in the 40+ yrs since I started collecting.
What I am asking for is a VALUATION
 
Who made or converted the frame for the Ca Special?, as the belt dimples are not factory, look like done after with the Schwinn dimpleing tool sold to shops, a lot of people were converting frames back then?. @whizzer1 was probably one doing them.

Well asking questions about who made it are a bit superfluous as I bought it long afterwards. In California these were called ”California specials” maybe that was just a sales ploy as I doubt Schwinn would have made a special frame for a whizzer kit.....l.sort of contradictory l
