Serious question

If you're intent on spending the money, go with all-original when possible.

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

Sorry about your Mother.... bri.

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.

I always go Original paint. Before you jump onto a Schwinn, take a look at some of the Brand X bikes. 39 Pacemaker, Colson Clipper, Robin, Black hawk just to name a few.

Without that front fender you are in a sticky situation at $4K with that bike...

$4k prewar Schwinn eh? There should be a black motorbike being listed in the complete bike section within the next week or so.

I would do a bunch of research and find the one I like the most after I reasearch u can pretty much get and bike minus a handful for $4000 btw sorry about your mom I think it’s a awesome idea to have u guys get something you normally wouldn’t get every time you ride it you will think about her

I would think you could get a really great prewar Schwinn for around half of $4000. You could spend some more on cool add-ons if you wanted to. Personally, i would be afraid to ride a $4000 bike. there have been a few on here lately in the 1200-2500 range.
So sorry you lost your mom.

Be true to yourself, and buy what you like, regardless of what the Jones’s say.
That’s what’ll make your Mom proud.
