Serious question

[biggermustache]

Let's say a person came into around $4,000 and wanted to get the absolute most bike for the money, what bike should he be on the lookout for?
Thanks in advance for all the help.

From an inheritance...I'd rather still have my mom though.

Get the bike you like most...

I bounced around wanting a little of everything but ended up with a passion for original paint late 30's tank bikes. There are a lot of cool Elgins, Colson, Shelby bikes in that era

That's a pretty subjective question. I could trip over some pre war or TOC bike and break an ankle just trying to get a glimpse of a 50's 60's MW sticking out of a bush.

Is there anything that would tie a certain bike to your mom? Maybe a matching pair mens /ladies of something cool. You have a lot to choose from. Sorry about your mom, Good luck

Okay...let me rephrase. I am very interested in balloon tire prewar Schwinn men's bikes. Would money be better spent searching for an all original or well done restoration.

Thanks! Mom knew what each of the boys had as hobbies and insisted that we each get something we wouldn't normally be able to afford.
